| That looks very cool! Does the back hinge up? You could use fishing line. I would try to put a servo winch on the inside to open and close. Cheers! Ok edit 1. After looking at it closer, did they really use a hand crank to raise and lower the spade?? I was wondering why it used so many pulleys. _____________________________________________ [b]You may be a king or a little street sweeper, but sooner or later you dance with the reaper! - Death[/b]

| If you are using fishing line, I recommend Spider Wire Braid which is woven threads, it gives a much better cable look. |

I think only the M40 has the gas struts. The hand crank and all the pulleys are 3D printed and quite fragile, so there is no way I can use a servo to put the spade up. Purely decorative and if I need it up, I just "hand" crank it up and the friction will keep it from falling. |

Fishing line will rip everything up no doubt. It will the strongest point in the whole chain. |

| Then the string or dental floss will be just fine. Fra gi lie will always be a major award. I put a functional winch on the front of my M16. The frame is strong enough to hold it but would tear it right off if I tried to actually pull something with it. As for the pulleys, I have 1/10 snatch blocks for my crawler winches. Too big for this application. not sure if any are made in 1/16. I can only imagine the Pvt with the Popeye guns that had to crank that up. Ha haa Excellent as always.
