Hi everyone,
I've been thinking recently of creating a thread on member's stock of AP spares as to be able to help each other in our little projects - exchange ideas, share experiences (and sources), and probably even trade parts. Then I decided against it - it would be probably hard to keep this inventory up to date plus maybe such a thread would violate a few RWI rules...
So today I'd like to share with you another idea: why not post here AP franken project you're currently working on, or even things you're only considering or have just completed. This can then serve as a semi-resource knowledge base and may inspire other members to pursue their own projects and save them from unintended headaches.
Do let me know what your thoughts are - hope you'll take on board the idea and contribute to the thread. Well-known members and modders may also find it appealing to post here to share their progress on different custom projects, so let's see/
I'll be the first one to post something here. Below is a photo of a few AP parts that will likely result in 3 separate projects:
1. a 15703 diver;
2. a 15400 dress watch;
3. and an upgraded Bumble Bee (not included in the photo, but the idea is generally to replace the LWO movement with the stock 3126).
Now, as you'd notice I have 3 projects and only 2 movements, so I'd have to make concessions, which I'm not necessarily ready to make, not just yet. I too am missing hands for my 15400 project and a rotor for the BB project. But 2 out of 3 is not a bad success rate in this little hobby of ours, so I'll not complain.
Welcome to this new thread; hope you find it useful! Thanks for looking (and contributing) - as always
P.S. due to PB being down, the original photo is no longer available. I’m including a worthy, I think, replacement to serve as an inspiration in our franken journeys... welcome to this wonderful franken world...
