[WWI] (no subject)

[Joey Valenciano]

Guys, thank you very much for your advice. If I am silent for some time,
it's because I'm at the workbench working with the hands or the brain.

 

Jim, I will keep your camera advice in mind, though maybe I'm too early in
the game to think about curved paper backdrops. My photography should
currently be concentrated on shooting model parts on the workbench. My
concerns are about how in focus my closeup shot is, how close up should I
take the shot, and which would be the proper angle to capture the parts.
Whew, I guess this speaks of far this is from my sphere of interest. I gotta
start trying, and as you say, digital photography makes trial and error less
painful.

 

Paul, thank you very much for your offer of a spare Albatros p/e radiator,
but before I resort to using one of those, I was thinking more along the
lines of developing some method of scratchbuilding a radiator. Maybe you or
others out there would have some ideas about this? The plastic card
available to me here is not thinner than 0.3mm, but other options for thin
materials would be:

 

Aluminum pie plate material

Aluminum soft drink can

Paper labels (I first thought of masking tape as an option but there's too
much texture on it's top side)

 

Those materials would do for the framing of the radiator. Anyone have
suggestions for the radiator surface itself?

 

Thank all for reading  :-)

suggestions on how to go about scratchbuilding a wing radiator? How would
you go about making one up?<

 

Joey.

 

FWIW I don't have the datafile, but if it was one of the standard radiator
types you could avoid some fun and use one of those supplied on any of the
current crop of Eduard frets. I have a couple left over from Albatrosses, if
you'd like one.

 

 

Tripod. Yup. That's a good idea.

 

 

Paul.
