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

Re: 1/350 AFVClub I-27 WIP
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.
