I was slightly bored with my boat, and decided to take break for few days. Instead i started preparations for my next project- ESCI BMW R-75 in 1/9 scale.
I will attempt to make working lights for it, and this is my first effort with LED:

Siara, you've created a real work of art with your boat and crew. It is simply beautiful to look at. Well done sir!

Hey, are you really going to use some of the kit gun

Cheers/Jan

In order to make painting process much simple, the hole was drilled, and pin was made from copper wire.

Very nice 8.8cm! Did you make the recoil compensators?

Siara · « **Reply #385 on:** 22 Feb , 2009, 15:05 »

Yes. Thats the brass tubing with copper wire soldered inside, and turned in my dremel tool Ernest. I must say- dremel soldering iron, and dremel tool were the 2 best buys since i have started model making. I couldny go without them.
