torpedochief Posted September 16, 2014 Share #1 Posted September 16, 2014 Shipmates, Here is a way to make your own photo etch parts for a few Bucks, Euros, Yen, Rubles. or Pounds. I wrote this tutorial for those in my RC tank community. However it started while I was and still making parts for 1/110 whale ships. I sure hope you all find this useful!!

Ian B Posted September 16, 2014 Share #3 Posted September 16, 2014 I had forgotten all about this process. I used to make my own PCB's in the 70/80's and with your take on it I will have a go Quote HMAV Bounty 'Billings' completed ⛵ HMS Cheerful - Syren-Chuck' completed Steam Pinnace 199 'Billings bashed' - completed ⚓ HMS Ledbury F30 --White Ensign -completed 😎 HMS Vanguard 'Victory models'-- completed Bismarck Amati 1/200 --underway 👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
druxey Posted September 16, 2014 Share #4 Posted September 16, 2014 Very clever adaptation of conventional photo-etching, Don! I wonder how small you can go using this process. Have you experimented with that?

torpedochief Posted September 17, 2014 Author Share #5 Posted September 17, 2014 Yes sir I sure have. You can do 1/700 railing and radar with ease. I am working up a set for 1/700 Type IXC U-boat. And getting ahead of myself I am doing some work on my scratch EDMUND FITZGERELD in 1/350. dgbot 1 Quote Author of the Submarine Thrillers OF ICE AND STEEL and EPITAPH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
molasses Posted September 19, 2014 Share #6 Posted September 19, 2014 Alternatively, Micro-Mark has a small photo-etch kit that I have on my wish list. http://www.micromark.com/micro-mark-pro-etch-photo-etch-system,8346.html Quote Current Builds: ESMERALDA Chilean Navy School Ship, 1/640 in a bottle insanity Dan Clapp's hard water race boat in a bottle Completed Build: Prairie Schooner OGALLALA 1/96 in a bottle Research Project: Cruizer-class Brig-Sloops "Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy." - Benjamin Franklin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
