Hi Adam, Just got one photo showing the right hand side of the pedestal on 92203. Regards, Paul

Cheers Paul,
That side is easy to see on the drawing it's the other side im a bit unsure about but that does show me I have that bit right so far! Adam

Thanks for that Jim that's interesting as even that differs slightly from the 9f version and I've been told they are the same but clearly not! Another set of drawings I'll have to get hold of then.
Cheers Jim,
Adam

Hi Adam, This shows the top section on 92214 a bit better. Still looking through my collection!! Paul

Brilliant! The drawings do show the bracket so I can do that as well, never seen one on a model though. The Brit pedestal is different but I don't know by how much so going to try get the drawings for it just to be on the safe side. 9f pedestal pretty much done will finish it off tonight.

So made some good progress last night on the pedestals getting both the 9f and class 4 pretty much finished so I tackled the fun job of scaling the 9f down this morning, not as simple in sheet metal but manageable! Both Pedestals assembled with Brake Valves and the blower valve body A close up of the rendered 9f pedestal in steel rather than painted black. And here we have the laser cutting file for the kit minus the heat shield as this is in 0.5mm steel rather than 1mm Adam

Adam, which is the reason why you have the various flattened sheets joined together? I tend to order them for laser cutting as they are, i.e. as separated parts, so I do not have to cut them further. Thanks

hi Joan
I think you may find it's a cheaper way of doing it, all of my laser cut parts have been done in a similar way...I would assume that it makes it easier for the cutter operator with less set up time as he can get more from one sheet, it also makes it easier to identify parts when in kit form, with everything being on the one sheet.

Thanks Joan, Yeah Pete has pretty much covered it but some of these bits are quite small too especially the two bending jigs so it they are all tabbed together it means that they can't get lost or forgotten plus it means I can get a kit come as one part and don't have to worry about ensuring all the bits are there when sending them out.

I need to make up these 2 and go find a real 9f to stand them on to get this as a photo Adam

Hi Adam,
the colour of your 3D image indicates that it is made of steel. Is the metal joining going to be silver solder? It appears that some bending of the flat packs parts is required, is some jigging required to hold the parts for metal joining?
As always, very impressive work.

Brian I wouldn't read anything into colour choice of a 3D model, I make some brightly coloured assemblies to give contrast and those have no bearing on the materials used.

Brian Brian, These have been "rendered" as if they were plain steel, unpainted. The idea being you would soft or silver solder them after they have been bent to shape. Using a tab and slot method and a small "bend jig" you should be able to bend them to the correct shapes. The bend jig is more of a profile tool which will clip onto one of the tabs of that part and shows the profile of the file bent shape. The tabs are also round 10thou longer than the thickness of the material so that you can just tap the ends over and ensure it is all held together well during soldering, a small bit of filing after to leave everything flush and it should be ready for painting. Adam

Could well be another detail part I need for my Std 4....
