Making Small-Scale Hi-Lift Jacks
I don't believe I've posted this here yet...:o
This tutorial will show you how to make small scale Hi-Lift Jacks for your XMod truck, or car, I guess…lol… Difficultly – 6/10. Working with small and fragile parts. First, gather materials: -Styrene - no less than 1/16 inch thin. Preferable thicker - makes it easier to work with. -CA glue. -Scissors. -Small XMod hand drill, or 2mm drill bit. Don't use an electric drill - you need precision. [Not pictured] -Red paint -Black paint [Not pictured] http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k3...1Materials.jpg First, cut the main part of the jack. This is a rectangle 4½cm by ½cm thick. http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k3...l/2CutMain.jpg Then, draw a line with pencil down the middle length-wise. This helps in the next step. http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k3.../3LineMain.jpg Drill 2mm holes every 3mm or so in the main part of the jack. Be very careful, because the styrene can actually rip. http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k3...ial/4Holes.jpg Cut the lift part of the jack. This is cut from a 1cm by 1½cm rectangle. http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k3...l/5CutLift.jpg Glue the lift part of the jack onto the main part of the jack with the CA glue. http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k3.../6GlueLift.jpg Cut the base for the jack. This is a rectangle 1cm by 1½cm. http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k3...l/7CutBase.jpg Glue the base onto the bottom of the jack. http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k3.../8GlueBase.jpg To make the handle, I first glued 3 pieces of styrene together, and then cut the handle out. This is 3cm by 3mm. http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k3...ayerHandle.jpg Glue the handle onto the jack. http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k3...luedHandle.jpg Shoot it with some red paint, detail the handle with black, and you are done! Here’s how it looks on my truck [not the one I made here…] http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k3...al/11Final.jpg Thanks for looking! ~Lancer |
