And all this time I thought Nick's user name referred to the breed of sheep that he preferred as a lad.

And Dariusz, this will be a fine model and I'm sure more than equal to your Indian Chief.

( or as they say in French Dumas)
Dumas extraordinaire

You're right, Sir PH, Alexandre Dumas is extraordinaire, but I suspect even the worst accented Frenchies would rather say dumbass (if I understand well the moscovite...)

Sir Nick can only be English, because he is so classy.
And this model of a Berliet truck is really nice.

Using BGA balls for rivets is very clever. These are Ball Grid Array solder balls. They are small, round and smooth.

They are for a method of soldering electronic chips to a board. There are no leads or pins. The chip has grid of tiny pads on the bottom, and the board has a grid to match. These solder balls come attached to the chip. Additional paste solder is applied to the tiny pads on the board. When heated they reflow (melt) and make the connection. Your cell phone is full of these things.

Boring? Normally yes, unless x-ray images show some did not reflow properly. Then your day at work starts to suck.

Thanks for that explanation; I had no idea what "BGA balls" were, and assumed they were some kind of tiny ball bearings.

Hello again. I had a very busy week. But progress in the work are visible.

Jeteście curious as doing an imitation of the canvas? An example of plastic cotton handkerchief, brush, glue impose rare, the best is the Tamiya extra thin cement. Push your finger, while I wait and take off my scarf. Just wait until it evaporates and you're glue.

Lead balls of BGA is a fantastic material for the modeller. I use balls with a diameter from 0.25 mm to 0.45 mm.

I made silicone mold wheels, front and rear. Because I'm going to do I set the casting mold with resin.

elements that have already been made of resin ...

Dariusz, did you glue the balls in place or are they pressure fit?

Thanks

Great work! In an earlier photo in this thread, I see a plan sheet for this truck. Where can I get a copy of those plans? I have looked online, but only can find a side plan in very small scale and no dimensions.

Thanks for any help.
