I know the problem,
and sometime I just forget about it, and take a the photos when the
cylinders are in the current position I want them to be.
The mainproblems I struggle with are the boggilift e.g
when the air goes out, the axle drops down, and if the bodywork are heavy, I
cant raise the axle, or the axles start to sag, and I twist my mind, and
start to find other ways around. And I also had to lower my critic sense and
just slip a model trough, and try to take to the photos in a way it looks
better, and sometimes I just keep the chassis, or the bumper, and rebuilt
parts of it, just to see if there are any ways around, some it is, sometimes
not, but I give it a try anyway.
But I am agrees in one thing, and that are the cylinders,
they are to weak, and have all the other problems you mentioned.
Also the frontaxles are a problem on my models,
where the axle start to sag, due to the weight, and
if I build something behind a rear axle, the frame are bent down, and if I
shoud reinforce that, it would look to big, and klumpzy, so its not easy,
but hey! Its a challenge right?

| (...) Hm, I guess since the mechanical/pneumatic solution can hold the current position but not get to it w/o HOG (Hand of God - Builders hand) it's OK. But I'd write a notice next to the picture never the less. I've also found rubberbands can help (...) (23 years ago, 18-Mar-02, to lugnet.technic)
