tk7713gra30 Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 Hi all I am now more on track now I have my boxes, thanks Cahrlie, here in 4 days :-) We all UK guys get stung with post and Tax, so I started to make my own radio. I realised that because I like to refine and I needed more of 1 or 2 pieces, it was easier to make moulds THIS IS NOT FOR SALE AT THE MOMENT-I am just showing wher i am so far I spoke to Woody and he supported me as I asked if I would offend, All is scratch built, what you are seeing is only stage 2 from the master sculpt. The resin pieces will now be refined and details added. I really wanted to get the dial rim close and that took a while to make and mould correctly. Frames around speaker are all plastic cut and trimmed and laid in srips. I aim to do all the pieces as either seperate so you can fix to a box of your choice, or as a full front plate, which will come with an added extra The bottom speaker section will always be one piece cast plate, so you don't need to worry about placing the bits like I did Prices will be cheap, about £35-£45 UK and that includes postage, depending on what you want ( full back plate or just lower plate and bits) Please let me know your comments. This is no the finished piece(s), I have another month to do at least but I hope you like Pics now, backwards from where we are now to 1st master Thank you. When done I will make a radio from the test pieces and aution for MEPD. Regards Gra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tk7713gra30 Posted February 16, 2011 Author Share Posted February 16, 2011 There is still a lot of work to do and thank you, I will try to do the best radio I can and already have made some major changes. Speaker pegs are to be redone correctly and speaker backing will be dipped from centre out as in original I must thank Woody as he is really keeping me motivated and has a lot of knowledge When it is done I hope MEPD members will find in favourableb Best wishes graham Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
