Old Collingwood Posted May 28, 2020 Author #672 Posted May 28, 2020 Hi all, After having our first walk out today walking the dog, I decided this eve to attack the aerial and comms wire, the idea was to drill a tinny narrow pilot hole in the front edge of the tail, (not the easiest operation) - so right, I tried it but combination of not being able to see what I was doing and tiny hand drill bit drifting - result a few scratches where the bit had drifted, eventually a pilot hole was made, next job was to push the end of a piece of fuse wire into the hold and add a bit od ca to hold it, then I glued the PE aerial put a pool of CE around the base and heated it with hairdryer. Then I tried to pull tight and glue (again with CE) the wire to the aeriel - but this was a fiddly not very sucessful operation so I gave up cut the wire away and just left the aerial in place to set. So I have given up on the idea of a comms wire and have marked the tail a bit (never mind) OC. mtaylor, popeye the sailor, Egilman and 2 others 5 Quote Current builds 28mm Battle of Waterloo attack on La Haye Saint Diorama. 1/700 HMS Hood Flyhawk with PE, Resin and Wood Decking.
