This morning I started working on the undercarriage. As I have the rule that each new build has to feature something new, this time I want to try a new method of creating constructions of thin brass rod.
I glued small stripes of styrene on the front view plan to serve as spacers to prevent the brass rods from contact with the paper, so they can be glued together. Afterwards I used small drops of white glue to hold the rods in the correct position. Once all rods were in place, I glued them together using photopolymeric glue (great stuff, btw.).

Once cured, I just took a brush with water and dissolved the white glue to get the part loose.

I will need more practice on this, but it is not bad for the first try.
