dgbot Posted July 17, 2014 Author Share #31 Posted July 17, 2014 The end is in sight. The next item was the torpedo netting. First was cutting out the poles and shaping them. I used a.016 round brass rod to help shape them Once formed they were then glued in place. Then the netting was cut out folded over and cut to shape. The next time I will use a thinner stock and it will look better. The netting was then installed. I found this kit be be rather enjoyable as well as frustraiting. I learned many new things and also realized that I am not confined to one medium or thickness. The next time I do this kit I will be applying the experience and things I learned. I hope I am not detering anyone from doing one of these. It is a nice change of pace and very little mess. Which is a big plus.
