Found a kit of AMT’s 1/16 th 55 Nomad, but need the muffler/tailpipe. anybody got one kicking around the part box they’d be willing to part with ??
Why not make one?
tailpipe, maybe, but the muffler is covered with individual ribs that would be extremely hard to reproduce
Can you post a photo of that muffler? I scratchbuild all kinds of things that may look impossible, but aren’t. You just break it down into sections. I may be able to give you an idea of how to fabricate one.
Carve it out of wood or make one out of crafters clay…the hardening kind.
If you’re running Cherry Bombs, those are very easy to make!
For a standard muffler just lay to sections of tubing next to each other. wrap with foil tape…fill in the ends with putty.
A piece of oval shaped wood, such as that found inside the bottom of a roll up window blind. The bottom or pull end of these cheap window blinds often have a piece of wooden (oval shaped) dowel in them.
To be a modeler you have to be part artist, detective and engineer.
