Hi everyone,
I want to present my new project: A Volvo L350F front Loader scale 1:16. First the drawings from PDF to AutoCad, then I use the AutoCad drawings as a template. The tires are from Barnhausen in Germany. Hydraulic is custom built. I use Aluminium and glue it together with special 2 component epoxy adhesive: UHU plus. |

Nice work. How is the UHU plus to work with? The manufacturers description says it cures fast. Doest it get hot as it cures? Will it attach dissimilar metals? Did you have any issues using it? You're model looks great so far.
