maurizio Posted January 4, 2013 Author Share Posted January 4, 2013 Starting some jobs about internal MGs. One is a .50 (M2 - 12.7) and the other one is a .30 (M-60 7.62). I'm cutting here a new version of a M60 for his curved body. The .50 is receiving some improvements. Weapons improved with small diameter copper wire, platicard and paper tape for the M16 strap.

Tank Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 Starting with the interior basket cutting 2 circles from a plasticard sheet Great work, I hope to add some of the same details to the LAV-150 kit so I following this one. One question, what is that tool you used to cut the circle? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
maurizio Posted February 13, 2013 Author Share Posted February 13, 2013 Dear Tank, thanks for the comment. It is a tool I've bought some years ago in a model kits shop. It is designed for cutting perfect circles out to plasticard sheets since it has a needle in one end and a sharp cutting blade on the other one. I don't remember if it has the brand name on but I can check for you. Just a couple of light passes and you have a perfect cicle cut. Please note that the cutting blade works perpendicular to the plasticard sheet so the edge of the circle(s) is perfect. thanks for watching Maurizio Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tank Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 Thanks for the info. The name would be great. I found this and it might work the same way. link Quote Link to post Share on other sites
maurizio Posted February 14, 2013 Author Share Posted February 14, 2013 yes, it works the same way. Maurizio Quote Link to post Share on other sites
