Tutorial for making an "open door"?

I can't believe we are still arguing about this.

I can't wait till this tread dies down so I can post a new tread with the original posters question again just to get the forums in an uproar again, and get everyones panties in a bunch.

nah, if you did I'd just post this:

cut door out with p.e saw
fill in gap between body and chassis
cut out door inner panel
mate door skin with door inner panel, adding neccessary detail
make some sort of door jamb detail out of styrene and/or putty
make some sort of hinge

make whatever you're doing look like the photo

Good to know.

What a hypocrite. You post flaming statements like this one and then you expect people to treat you like a queen.

PS: No I do not believe you that you searched before asking, as there were at least two How to's and 10 memorable builds that you would have found with everything that one needs to know in order to attempt opening a door.

I flamed you because you have done NOTHING in this thread except post inflammatory stuff towards me. Nothing more. No help, no nothing. I wonder why someone would get upset? Yeah, I want to be treated like a queen. No, just with respect and it seems you don't know how or aren't capable of it.

The how to's were not on the subject I queried about. Go back and reread my OP. It's not about opening doors--it the sills. Jeez. How many times do I have to repeat myself before you listen?

It is because modeling is an intensely and inherently individual pursuit. There is no "right way" to do anything. There are many ways. Some ways may be "better" than others for some people. But the only way that matters is the way that works best for an individual. And that can only be learned by doing, and done by learning. You must learn you own way. People who know how to do it have all figured it out themselves, by doing it. And for whatever reason, it tends to be irritating for people who have figured it out themselves when someone who doesn't have the chutzpah to learn it himself demands a guide. We have what, 4 pages now to prove that? It brings to mind the 4 year old who constantly asks "why?", and follows every offered answer again with "why?". The ultimate answer very often is "figure it out yourself, kid". And that's how we really learn. Take your best guess and try it. If it doesn't work, then try something else. But we can't really spoon feed you this stuff. You must find it yourself.

Trust me, I'm a flight instructor. I know a bit about the learning process. Yes, people learn in all different ways. But no one has ever learned to land an airplane by asking "how is it done?". Everyone learns it in exactly the same way- by doing it, again and again and again. You start off (like everyone) not knowing how to do it. Then you do it- and as you do it, you learn how to do it. Everyone learns in their own way how do do it their own way. But they all learn it the same way- by doing. And if you don't get that, you will learn nothing.

I understand. I was just asking for info on the sill question. Once I saw what someone did, I would go and do it, just like you said. I'm not afraid! Yeah, I'd probably make a mistake. Not a biggie. I just wanted to see what someone else was kind enough to post. (Basically the equivalent to doing a flight simulator.) Make sense? That's all I was attempting to do. Why go into something blind when you have a resource such as AF?
