Nice work Fermis! Those Japanese subs can be fun to build. Looking forward to seeing more.

Thanks dudes!
Main assembly finished up, as well as some paint...still got all the fiddly bits yet to do.
Mounted on the plaque, so I don't have to handle the model itself.
Much more fun than that ship I'm workin on. I really like the simplicity of most of it...but yet, just enough fiddly bits to make you feel like you're building a model!Duke Maddog wrote:Nice work Fermis! Those Japanese subs can be fun to build. Looking forward to seeing more.

Getting much closer now!
Got the rigging/antennas done...still have the plane to do as well as some weathering.

Excellent work on the rigging!!! How did you do the rings on that antenna?

Painstakingly!Stikpusher wrote:Excellent work on the rigging!!! How did you do the rings on that antenna?
For that antenna...I started by wraping a coil of fine copper wire around a drill bit, slid the coil off the bit and sliced it with a blade, creating the rings. I made a bracket out of sprue, CAed a length of stretched sprue across the bracket and CAed the rings to that...like so...
Things were going great, I was on the 6th and final line when I fumbled and destroyed the whole thing.....5 hours, down the drain. Words were said, dogs were kicked, babies got face punched and some shots were had!
Attempt #2....I used aluminum tubing to hold the rings. CA the stretched sprue to the tube, well beyond the rings, at each end...then just dab CA to the sprue where it meets a ring...repeat...
After all the spots are glued, cut the ends of the lines, slide it right off, CA the ends together and add another length of stretched sprue to the ends.
