    I don't remember when I arrived at this channel, but I am so very happy I did. While I may not collect die-cast cars; I whole heartily appreciate the enthusiasm and dedication to this hobby. It helps motivate me to get some of my own projects done and I can not thank you enough for that.

    Ouch, I remember these old beasties on the streets of London, mixed in with the newer types that were becoming the norm, creaky and quite worn out by the 70's but still workable until the FX4 (Cockney Cab II) became the only cabs available. Quite funny is Dr Who's Daleks used the roof indicators off of these taxis, the BBC were masters of cheap tat as props.

      Yer, is what I was saying... derived from Hackney Carriage. Not being born within the sound of Bow Bells myself, dunno if I would be totally copus with "Cockney Cab" if I was... but, we Brits can take the mickey out of ourselves with no drama. (er, mostly;)

    Turned out beautiful. For soldering, just be sure that both parts you want to solder together are hot enough, and remember that solder will flow in the direction of the heat source. If you hold the iron at the top of a crack and feed the solder in at the bottom, it’ll actually run upwards towards the source. Be sure your iron’s tinned when you head in (helps transfer heat into the part) and that’s all there is to it

  • @johnwong7206
    @johnwong7206 Před 5 lety

    Another great video. Glad to see you've added a new tool. Just a word of caution. Always wear rubber gloves when working with a fiberglass brush, make sure there's water involved. Some running water or with a container of water near by to keep things wet. Cause you don't want to inhale any of the fibers. Fiberglass splinters are near impossible to remove, have used this on and off for 38years.

  • @tomheckhaus7617
    @tomheckhaus7617 Před 5 lety +2

    Yes soldering (sod-er-ing) is the way I pronounce it too. I think your problem may be that the copper plating isn't getting into the void in the crack. After you do the plating the solder should flow into the void, but the raw metal is still there. All you are doing is covering the crack which will join the metal but not be 100%. If there was a way you could enlarge the crack and get the copper to plate the inside it'll work a lot better. Then of course you run the risk of breaking the part. If you watch the video closely you an see the flux then the lead melt and flow around the joint BUT not flow into the crack. You are making what we call a cold joint. That is a joint where the solder doesn't flow well. It is a good procedure though. I'm retired after 40 years with "The Bell System" and soldered nearly every day for most of my time. The model came out great.

    Soder is something you drink, sometimes served with icecream. Could also be where Thomas the Tank engine lives... I'm in flux about the issue. I like me a Cockney Cab, Guv'ner. I've never seen one in the most common color you see them In England which I thought was black. Love to see you customize one in the future. Happy Easter.

    So... copper plating the die cast parts is the secret! Sweet job! My two cents - at 5:57, there was not enough flux on the parts. Whenever solder does not want to flow, more flux is usually the solution. Keep up the good work! Great channel!
