Very good video ... I've been pinning a long time not only for building but also for repair of broken models it's the best strongest longest lasting way to do it... Right now I'm looking at the Duvall windsheild I will be putting on my 32 hemi powered Ford hi boy and figuring out how I want to pin it in the center and outer frame. Thanks I got to get some of the Smith gold to try out.
Nice...... Appreciate you taking the time out to show us how it's done.. I'm going to give it a try on a junker first.. If all goes well, then I'll step it up. 👍 Thanks again for sharing your tips.
I have stretched sprue over a candle for pin stock. I pinned tank tracks to the bogies AKA road wheels and flattened the pin with a hot knife. The vinyl/rubber or whatever some kits use that is hard to fuse with heat or many glues I tried, this worked for me.
Drill and pin is definitely the way to go, much better than relying on just a small glue joint. It is also a useful technique when assembling items like air intake piping on 1/25 scale big rigs as it keeps everything aligned, strengthens the joints, and makes it easy to paint pieces separately for clean colour separation and reassemble at final installation.
Wow , I wish I could have done this to the mirrors on the Impala and the Chevelle. Those chrome mirrors are hell to get them to stick to a painted body . Thanks for sharing this
hey Rob ye it's a thing iv tried few times and works great givin mirrors something nice sturdy to keep it mounted to body and not fall off to easy great vid bro👍 Keith
@@timemachinesscalemodels no kidding. I wonder how any of the tiny pieces used to stay on my builds? Either they didn’t or there was glue everywhere. Lol
It's .03 mm music wire. You could use almost any solid wire. Not sure if Hobby Lobby sells it this small, but many hobby shops might. You could also use guitar strings.
I got what you said on the pins, but the rear end you never said what size styrene you were using that is attached the pin from the wheel..You should the pin in the wheel, but where it attaches to the rear has the styrene that is drilled to attach the wheel. That styrene looks like a solid peice and what size is it? Just asking for some clarification on the process.
Thanks for asking. It's actually 2 pieces of .040 cut out into disks then glued together. When I had the rearend printed I miscalculated the width so I needed to modify it. Hope that answers your question.
Awesome tutorial Rob ❤
Thanks, brother.
Oh yes! I like this technique, I will definitely be trying this! Thank you so much for the video! 👍😎👍
Hope this helps you. It's definitely a very useful technique.

The Duvall windshield sounds like a challenge.
Nice work Rob like the new rims 👍👍
Thank you, Seamus. Jay's Wheels on e-bay.

No problemo, brother.
Great job Rob! Thanks so much for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the pinning tutorial Rob.😊
You're welcome. Thanks for watching, David.
Thanks for sharing Rob. I use the pin to save broken axles and front spindles
Yes, sir that's a perfect use for this type of thing..
I need to repair a broken axle on a 1950 Ford F1. Never done Pining before. What size pin do you use? Thanks.
For something like a repair on a rear axle something the size of a straight pin is what I use.

Great video Rob . Thanks for sharing these great tips.
Thank you, Mike.
Very nice tutorial. Pinning parts comes in very handy. Thanks for sharing.
Yes it does. I used to lose so many parts over time. Now if I'm in doubt I pin it.
@@timemachinesscalemodels I pin a lot, and probably should pin more.
Thank you so much for sharing!!! I pin a lot of things but never thought of morrors. I love the tire idea as well. Good stuff!!!! 🙌🙂
Thank you. Glad it gave you a new idea. It has definitely helped me keep more mirrors where they belong.
Thanks for sharing Rob. I have never thought of doing that. Awesome idea... 👍
LLAP 🖖
Try it out, Bruce. Thanks for watching.
@@timemachinesscalemodels I will... 😁
Nice work Brother, I've been known to pin a thing or two myself.. That's good, clean work that helps in a lot of situations 😎👍🇺🇸
Thanks, my brother. I hope it helps others to get a little more familiar with the technique.
Thanks for sharing. Donnie
Thank you, Donnie.
Great video, I do this on all of my models. Mirrors,carburetors any small pieces!

Absolutely!
Nice video bud. I use styrene on my roll cages, as I usually drill through the bar. Then I just sand them.👍👍

Thanks, Cory. Happy Thanksgiving to you as well.
Great tech tip rob,i do same thing on my builds🙂🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻👀👀👀👀
Yes, sir. I think it's definitely one of those things that finds its way to you if you build long enough
Nice video!! A handy tip for sure.
Pinning some parts has saved me some major brain pain.

Nice tutorial Rob
Thank you, Tom. Hope it helps someone not familiar with the process.
Awesome tip.
Thanks, Luis.
Great video🤓👍
Thank you.
Nice tutorial Rob it’s so much fun pinning parts lol nice job k.u.t.g.w.
looks like a 1970 Chevelle body on your desk.
It sure is. Monogram Heavy Chevy
Can you do a vid about doing bodywork sanding and using putty etc
I probably could.
🤘🏽
0.3mm as you mention but NOT .03mm on screen, which is human hair thickness.
Gray tutorial bro
Thanks Marcos. I appreciate that.
