i just started on it but this will be where ill post pics of the process

the subject for experimentation is a Revell C5 coupe with lambo style hinges keep your eyes on this thread

tools needed for this job
Needle nose pliers
Nylon thread or Scriber
File (coarse)

the doors have been cut out with sewing thread

Heres the vette with the right door cut off. File as neccesary you will do a lot of filing to make a good fit.

This is the demo hinge i made it should look like this but 1/24 use the pliers to make(adjust as neccesary)

What a cool idea!!!:)

I have the 1/16 Fujimi Lambo that has opening doors, the mechanism for it is a piece of wire with 90degree bends either end with one at 12o'clock and the other at 3o'clock if u were to look at the wire end on. Will this be similar?
