And another 03 chimney.

 After publishing my last post concerning making an 03 chimney in N gauge I was asked if I could make another in 4mm scale. So I did;


It's a pretty simple part to make (I've made one before in 4mm), but care (and a specially ground tool) is needed to turn the top recess and setting the correct angle to turn the taper requires a bit of trial and error. 

By the way, that's a pair of surgical forceps holding the part in the photo above, acquired from a local seller who cleans out stock from Sheffield factories. Very useful, not only for modelling but also for threading up sewing machines.

Paul.

    Oooh I’d love to see where this is heading.
    Your work, as always is the finishing touch to a model. Wonderful craftsmanship.
