Looks great! Little strips of Tamiya tape for the drum handle straps perhaps?

You've done those very nicely Danny  ;D

I know it isn't an easy job to get all PE lined up so nicely (I can never get it to look as nice as yours...)

Brilliant work on the guns, Danny!  Almost finished and she's looking so good.
Cheers,

Thank's BUd for you're nice comment.

Like i said in my previous reply's, i'm busy with the eyelets and turnbuckles.

GasPatch has some very nice looking turnbuckles but this time i wanted to make them myself, so starting with the eyelets....................... .......i'm not giving up on this:evil_laugh:

First the wire, copper....0.1 a 0.2 m/m cut to a lenght of 1.5 cm.





These pieces are now turned using a tweezer and my hand, i have now the basic eyelet.



The eyelets itself is 0.3 m/m, for this i use a 0.3 m/m drill bit. The other end is fastened in a pin vise.

Something about that picture reminds me of a trip to the Doc's office when we were trying to have a baby.

Looking great Danny! I am impressed by the number of buckles! I certainly lack that kind of patience!!

Good work on the buckles, Danny, although they look
line a regiment of soldiers that are having trouble
learning "about turn". ;) ;D  Looking forward
to your next updates, my friend.

Cheers,
Ernie :)
