Smokinguns3 Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 I decided to try something and it worked, i had a BPB laying in my shop and duilding a Fw190 A-5 and decided i wanted to put belts in the cockpit, i couldnt find any color that wroked in my shop, so i looked around and seen the BPB and said to myself that this just might work. So all you do is cut a hunk of the papaerbag out maybe 4x4 and then cut it into the thickness that you need and feed it through just like you would masking tape be craeful it isnt taer resistnt but i think it is more to scale for thickness anyway, just feed it through the buckles like normal then apply glue of you choice i used CA so here is what the finished item looks like.

Cleveland Model Resins Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 Smokinguns3 those belts look wicked. And the plus side is you can fix hyperventilation if the need arises as well with the raw materials for your belts. I think that is a case for applause. Seriously though, your work is outstanding and I for one look forward to seeing your Butcher bird completed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest LSP_Jay L Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 I agree, that is a very cool technique and they look very convincing. I'll bet the texture of the paper looks very accurate in scale. Thanks for sharing that mate. Cheers, Jay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
