09-16-2009 :: Cleaning the parts with Acetone
I am going to weld those -so the first thing is to clean the parts with Acetone, so that I can remove all the photoresist material still stuck to the part
09-16-2009 :: Welding material
So here is the material i use! Some crappy Camping Gaz iron that i will change because the electric cable is so thick that i knock all the stuff on my desk while moving it, some Carrs flux and solder, and a thing to hold the iron with a small damp sponge on it to clean the iron.
I usually weld on an old kitchen tile (there was aplenty in the cellar when we moved in -along, would you believe it - some Wehrmacht postal bags complete with eagle and cross!!!)
09-16-2009 :: First part of the B-17 section
Here is the B-17 section after 1 hour of welding!
09-17-2009 :: Welding done!
So tis is all the welding done, quite flimsy actually. You may notice the radio operator's window hanging poorly
09-17-2009 :: Online sellers...
Now is the first part of my life time feud against online sellers. I mean, repairing computers I noticed that the trouble only happened when guys truly hated their computers. I must truly hate online sellers as I can't keep having problems with those!
1/ Tiger Models, One of the less worse of the lot, ah, well, actually okay 
their packet i received 1 month after my payment, expensive mailing charges but nothing gross or insulting like some others. but no other hassle honest!
So in the packet was some lead foil that I was keeping for such an occasion. indeed I strongly believe that in model making you should use the right material in scale. Which means, wood in really must be wood, stone must be stone like etc.. I will have the time to go further into that in a next build. Well, I think the properties of burnt out and crumpled aluminium would be p^rett nicely rendered using some metal!
09-17-2009 :: Cutting at the right size..
Cutting at the right size..
that stuff was a nightmare to glue, I had to use some epoxy 2 components glue as CA was useless
09-17-2009 :: Flak.. and nightmare fighters
Flak.. and nightmare fighters, just some pin in the lead foil
