Hello :wave:,

I haven't been posting much lately because there has been a lot of work going on, but I was able to take a few pictures of some customs I have working on lately.

Of course I did get a lot of help and tips from three friends Gordon, Bill, and Tim. Thank you guys I couldn't have done so easily without you all.

For the first set of pictures one of the jacks I made so far. Its being displayed by Jeff and Bill as you can see. It didn't turn out so good or so bad, but here it is lets see what you all think:

A few more. ;D These set of pictures show another jack but more for like heavy duty. This jack can lift heavier objects than the previous one I showed.

Here is an air bag. Its used for lifting heavy objects, vehicles, and machinery. I also did get all the idea and tips from Tim.  :)

OK, here are the last pictures for today. They just show the air bag in action. Its being powered by me and another crew member.

I hope you enjoyed looking at my pictures.  ;D Thank you again Gordon, Bill, and Tim for all your tips and help at making these customs success! :thanks:

Thank you for your kind reply Bonnie.  :) Bill did help me a lot by telling me what parts to use to make the jacks and from what sets they come from.

I meant modeling as in posing for the pics, by the way, not as in making them. :) You've done great work here, Baden!
