A friend in the past bought an old hospital bed, uses just the wheels and mechanica below to make a table that he could raise Electric. He used it to repair his bike. But with an extra layer of drawers it will be high enough to ba a working table. Maybe an idea.

Ahoy!

@Don - I checked all sizes again. Frames 6 and 35.......... Everything should be OK. You the glue as instructed.

Your elements of the model are in such herself scale as the monograph Ancre (scale 1/36). Use the drawings from the book. All wooden pieces are the same as in the Ancre book. Maybe you need to sand a little with sandpaper?
