Okay another quick update, unfortunately due to a hangover I was not able to do as much as I had planned on... however given that I was not expecting to receive any of the items until next week I won't be too hard on myself
So the button and button housing are basically finished, the nut and bolt are only place holders I am going to use something else for the final fitting...
Finally here are some images of the button at work...
Cannons
Machine Guns
The only button I have yet to work on is the fire of both cannon and maching guns, this will be achieved by a slot in the button which will allow me to press on the centre and activate both buttons at the same time... Well that's the plan anyway
Obviously its nothing like an actually spade button but it works
P.S. Any comments are welcome.
