Recommended Posts

Hi Marcin,

I missed your thread until today... and spent most of my lunch time reading through the many posts. Simply amazing what are doing. Congratulations!

In a post you explain the etching technique and say:

"- special technique print (very accurate) on perfect transparent thin foil "

What is exactly your printingt technique? What printer? What foil?

Keep on the good job :)

Pierre, this kind of words from this kind of Modeler as You is priceless. Thanks

What is exactly your printing technique? What printer? What foil?

I don't have any printer. I'm always sending email with Corel Draw file to printing corporation. It's about one Euro for A4 sqare on foil print so it's cheep.

This technique is hard to explain and I don't know exactly how they do it. But I know this for light projector users and it is quite common. It's not exactly printing in fact. They are using light (laser) to put the Corel file on foil. As I wrote it is very accurate. In this technique You are allowed to use even thinness lines and gaps (about 0,05mm).

Look at this draw :)

I'm trying to photoeaching this one right now. I let You Guys know if it works

Pierre, I think You should ask about similar company who render different kinds of prints/overprints in Your area.

You must also know, that I was inspired by You work Man :yahoo:

Umm, can someone shrink us down to 1/48 so we can have a walkaround of this jet?!?!?

Haha, get any more detailed and you might as well build a 1/48 version of the jet, hydraulics and avionics; you can fly that thing out of here to Poland!

Dear Gents

Another big set of thankfulness words from my side after all Your comments --> :crying:

After many PMs and post in my thread I'm very close to decission about own company making PE parts for modelers. There are a lot of things to do to start a production bigger that two or three sets per day. I'm still wondering about profitability.

Anyway, keep the fingers crossed and wait for news :o

This plate is something special and unusual. This is rail for LAU-129 for the wing tip of Viper. Sheet contains two of them:
