Building Hints


Here I would like to introduce some techniques I either used to build my models or I will probably use in future models.
If they should be useful for you - just feel free and download the building instructions. If you've got comments or ideas on how to improve these ideas or you just want to know more - send me a mail.

How to use threaded axlesThreaded axles are useful for many purposes. Read more about it here.
