How to be an Armoured Farmer, building Hobart's Funnies in Glorious 15mm (and maybe 28mm if they arrive in time!)
AVRE Bobbin Conversion Cont'd
The next thing to create was the Bobbin roll itself. So that I didn’t have to make miles of carpet I decided to place an infill piece over the roll. After scaling the roll I found that a bit of 20mm plastic pipe would work brilliantly. After cutting the pipe to the correct lengths using a plumbers pipe cutter, I used the pipe as a former and cut a section out of the longer pipe section so that it would fit inside the other one. Once sanded smooth I superglued everything in place.
Plumbers pipe cutter to get accurate 90 degree cuts, i used it to mark the pipe and then cut it using a razor saw.
inner section cut so that it would fit inside the other pipe section.
