[WWI] Added:BAT Bantam FK 22 and more!

[Joel Christy]

Hi Jim,
   
  You can sometimes find inexpensive punch sets in craft shops. I have a set with three sizes that pretty well cover my needs. Regarding cockpits; I usually put in a seat, instrument panel, floor and control column and that's it.  I never put in rudder bars etc. I guess it's a matter of how obsessed one is......
   
  Cheers,
   
  Joel

I did see that you sometimes make your own wheels from plastic card, using a paper punch. I've tried using a cheap leather punch with poor results. A complete set of quality hole punch sizes would be nice to have but they're expensive. I was hoping to see info on detailing cockpits but at 1:144 and 1:72 maybe you don't even bother.

  Hi Jim and others,
   
  Thanks for the comments. I have no secrets, I just build what I want to. To see how, look at the scratch building titles on my picture site at  http://wingsandwires.piczo.com   I do use Aeroclub and stuff from the spares box whenever possible but often I have to improvise what is needed.
   
  BTW, Dave, I never made that connection with Cream's Jack Bruce. Nice song.......
   
  Cheers,
   
  Joel

Your shishkabob method on the Bantam is the same thing I did on my Salmson.
 
You make scratch building look so easy. You inspire me to try it.
 
Do you scratch build your wheels? They look just like kit wheels.
 
I just wish you'd take progress photos so I could steal all your secrets.
 
Jim
