    the saga of the hinges continues
    the first attempt with copper was not entirely successful so decided to switch back to brass.
    the hinges are nearly done ...just a load of 0.5 mm holes to drill....a lot of cleaning up and then to blacken

    Hi paul
    The hinges are 1/16  by 1/32 brass strip silver soldered to 1/16 od brass tube.
    The pins are 1/16 brass rod soldered to the same diameter tube , the tube then filed to the width of the rod.
    The two are connected by a 0.8mm diameter brass rivet which is cut off and the end peinned over with a small hammer.
    The hinge will be glued to the gunport with epoxy and smaller rivets dropped through the holes to represent bolt heads.
    The pin will locate into the hull.
    Hope this helps
    Cheers.....mick
