August 1, 2014: Bruce Lakovick shows off freshly modified sprocket and disk brake. He's bored 'em out to accomodate a larger hub so that he can turn a mini scooter into a tall one with lower gearing. The brake disk was heat treated so we bored that one out in the lathe using the external jaws to hold it. Sprocket was too big for the lathe and its 5-spoke geometry meant it had to be bored out using the mill and a rotary table
So I got a little bit crazy and cut a slot into the pump handle. It's not the most even cut, and I could wish it was, but I can fix that later, but I then used a screw that was about 3/4 as long as the diameter of the pump and screwed it into the bottom. This created a stopper for the pump, and solved the problem of the tube coming out.
I originally had a bicycle pump in place of the stock pump, but the distance on it was really bad mojo. So I had to go back.
I took a dremel tool with a cutting bit and just went to town. Be careful on the air tank that you don't go too far in, the seal for the front of the tank is at the back of that small barrel and you don't want to accidentally tear that up, 'cause then you've got an Ex-Titan.
Contrary to the catalog the window regulator requires 7" of clearance beneath the glass ... not 5-1/2 inch. I drilled new holes 1-1/4 inch higher to make up some of the difference. Some clearance needed.
After a quick build up (1x di2 makes it suuuper easy to set up a frame for test riding) and a somewhat unpleasant test ride (high handlebars are fine for some people, but not for me!)
Ready to rock out. Just 4 screws and the old speaker baffle goes back in. Much more punch and crunch!

I added an up-and-coming rapper to my officemate's poster of rap greats. v2.0 of the poster is greatly improved.
After spending half a week pretending to be able to do sound, it seemed necessary to modify the pearl to reflect my effort over the week.
Here's your stock titan with the shell removed, you can see the stupid amount of complexity that was introduced in order to provide the integration for the Scout and Hornet, there's also one more idiotic item to this gun, a ball-barring based restriction that doesn't allow the gun to fire if it's tilted up too far. I have no idea why this was even put in.
At this scale, adding wing cannons or weapons of any type would've spoiled the overall shape. This was a compromise.
Here you see the beginning of the 5-barrel shell, the barrels must be glued in this star pattern in order to fit into the shell casing. You can use a piece of 1/2" FBR in the center to keep things measured out.
Carriage 'Tambo' sits in the loco shed at Maldon while having one end modified into a platform like 'Yarra'. 20th June 2004.
Modification of the "Safari Baby Backpack" in the January 2005 issue of Sewing Savvy Magazine.
As always I have added additional pockets.
This bag is currently being field tested by a new mom.
The antenna atop the upper hull behind the dome got some work. I replaced the little plastic knobs with glass beads glued to short sections of music wire. The main support shaft was replaced with music wire as well. The only plastic left is the main ball. This makes the antenna much less likely to break off any of it's tiny bits when I'm handling the model.
