Scratchbuilding a Scale Hydraulic Cylinder

In this installment, Mother shows how to build a simple, positionable scale hydraulic cylinder from basic styrene shapes. These can be used for TONS of different scale modeling applications.

This guy is a genius, learned more in 24 min than the 5 years of my undergrad.

With the rise of 3D printers, I think it would be so simple to crank out these smaller scale cylinders. Great video

Thanks, this is a vintage gem. I learned a few things. Thank you.

Are these premade anywhere? I need them for model carnival rides. And I need them to move up and down?

I just found this by coincidence.. I'm REALLY late to the party! Is this the same Mother from Armorama? I never knew you had video tutorials.. I remember when I tried once to have a group tutorial on Armorama, but for some reason not enough people were into it... So, I'm really glad I found this! Very informative.

[@Section8Hobbies]

Hisham Aziz, 'tis the same. Thanks for watching.

[@Classicshooter86]

will you do any more vids on building hydraulics or maybe some type of hinges, opening doors, or making things tilt?

[@Section8Hobbies]

We will be trying to get more videos like this up very soon!

[@isaacixtupe8983]

What's the hydraulic cylinder use for?

[@Section8Hobbies]

Isaac Ixtupe You can use this technique to make one of any size for any scratchbuilding or detailing project that you might be working on.
