HOBBiES: 1/72 Tiger I, Pt. 4

Detailing the radiators…

Today a rather groovy set of hole-punches arrived, via Amazon (along with Egg’s last album, 1974’s Civil Surface).

No, not miniature organ pipes.

They range from 0.5 mm to ???. I only used two tonight, the 0.5mm, for the radiator detailing covered in this post, and the 0.8mm, just see how they looked.

The 0.5 mm punch, and the bits it yields.

I used two different thicknesses of plastic card; the thinnest I have for these bits. I’m very pleased with the tools and the parts they produce.

Ta-dah!

I suppose such stuff still looks a bit rustic and home-made, compared to what the kit manufacturers themselves can do. But it’s a significant improvement on how I’ve made such parts up till now.

So I’m very happy!
