Purple dagger did you end up using heat shrink on yours? I ordered some because i know over time tape wont hold up. The heat shrink will look cleaner also. I ordered 1-1/4" and I cant even gei it on my 1_ 1/8" emt pipe. If you did get heat shrink what size did you use?
Zorg, I have everything to get started. I'm using a 1-1/8 inch emt pipe. It looks like its 1" and 3/4 looks too small. I'm noticing a little problem with the bottom of the supermax. It looks too small for 1". Did you use a 1" pipe on yours? If so how did you fix the problem?i tried it, it did not give the desired effect
yeah it's simply too big, you also need to factor in it going through the soaker at the other end.
i think i used a metal 1 inch curtain pole, i would not bother with plastic
Zorg, I just recieved the Yamaha part. Its an amazing print however I see that it's the wrong Yamaha part. I thought the Yamaha part was the stator cover from a tamiya xs1100 midnight special kit 1/6th scale. Do you know where I could find the right one? Other than the kit itself.
I have the kit part and castings as I previously said. I just ordered the sprue from the importers.
I just sent them an email. Did you reach them from the tamiya website?
No I contacted the importers directly, they ordered the sprue from Japan. It took a while but I was happy with the service. I'm in the UK btw
Gotcha. I'm willing to wait. I know you have the mold I just remember you saying you weren't selling any. I don't necessarily want to rebuild this thing so I'm willing to wait for accurate parts. The piece I recieved is a piece used on the Y-wing helmet.
It was a long time ago but I think I drilled right through the pole into my blade which was bondo and plasticard. Reinforced everything with more bondo and around the opening of the hairdryer. It was pretty solid after that.
Quick question, is the axe from end of danco adapter to the base of the pipe 5 ft.?
it was 5ft overall
