Pennsylvania A3 Switcher

[WearyParticipant @weary]

I have been wondering how you are getting-on so was very pleased to see that ‘works are progressing’.  It looks really good!  Am looking forward to seeing it progressing.

Baz, As Mark mentions, Blondihacks on youtube, is currently doing a build thread.  Other build and similar ‘A3’ threads are available on youtube.

Great to see that you are able to get back onto the switcher build. I do enjoy seeing how people approach their builds. So far an enjoyable build

Thanks Phil I will take a look at YouTube and Blondiehacks.

Many thanks Guys, for your kind comments. As my friend and I were joking about just lately, I seem to be spending a vast of time either tool making or jig making, and, not a lot of time model making.

The next big sub-project on this build is the sheet metal with the fake rivets. I have already made the punch and die, and hardened and tempered them.

I still need to make the jig for punching the rivets at the correct spacing from the edge, and decide how exactly I’m going to lay them out. Right now, I’m thinking of going ‘full blondiehacks’ and buying a copy of the software she was using.

thanks again for your comments

cheers

Kozo’s books are amazing. Every one has so much detail, that, even if you aren’t going to build what he is detailing, there are so many set up ideas, you just go…. Why didn’t I think of that?

After I got the A3 book, I bought the next one. Then the next. And the next.

I’ve got the lot now. Including the 2 latest  K27 books.

All of them are works of art in their own way.
