Thought Id get a better pic of the commander helmet/hat so here;
Not the neatest I know but looks ok, perhaps possible for moulding?
Some final touches yesterday and today, started doing the periscopes and took some method pics;
So made shape on left with two bits of clear styrene (1mm thick) and 2mm strip of 1mm thick white, then covered ends with paper. Each flat dimension is around 10mm wide and 14mm long, its a rough assumed scale down but is quite close.
Then painted as shown on right leaving a 'lense', cut out the OD green shape from card to wrap around, its 10 by 5mm with a notch out for the slide lever thing which was later added made from a couple mm length of cocktail stick and painted. All above put together and inserted into gap;
Another thing I did today was this;
Made from ice lolly sticks with 1.5mm scale rope on ends. Shells are from Nickmow and are lovely, I think that is correct colour added to right end?
Cheers guys
Dave
