Interesting. I reckon you need something similar to those bulbous rubber things you get on those blood pressure guages they put on your arm, as your air supply. If its possible, a better approach might be to have the tube going underneath the model, perhaps through a base of some kind, to keep it out of sight.

thsnkd for the compliments. yea i want to have the tube hiden better but the tube i used doesnt bend very easy and its too big so im lookin for something smaller and flexible.the blood presure thing sounds like a good idea but would be a little pricey lol i was thinking one of those blue baby ear wax things and maby even a fish tank air supply pump

sorru i dont have a tutorial but its just a arms like on the front of most cars it takes alot of work to do and a tutorial would be alot of work to lol just getting the arms mounted to the wheels in the right place took a while i might try a tut someday but it probably wont be for a while sorry

i can tell u the way i do the a arms is easy to do 1 but getting them to match is the hard part.i made a triangle out of wire with the base cut almost all the way off but left enouph to stick into a tube withc acts like a hinge.i put styrene tubes over the wire so i could put a mounting point for the bags that i am going to put on it. getting the a arms mounted on a spindle in the right place is a hrd part because if its not in the right place it will have too much neg. or pos. camber when raised and/or lowered. i worked on this frame and suspension for 4 days so it takes a while lol
