Re: Japanese Model Builders

They're great Dave...thanks for sharing.
IIRC Whiterook, some armour kits actually provide a section of sprue that functions as a jig for making the star antennae. If you ever come across this, it's wise to keep it. I also keep long runs of clear sprue when I get it. It can be stretched like the coloured stuff, but the sections at the ends where it goes from thin to thick...ie. the parts you held onto to stretch it, can be shaved down and trimmed. These parts make pretty good bottles. Nice little accessories for dioramas. All you need is a steady hand to paint a label on.
BTW, I can heartily recommend Dave's zip files. Inspirational stuff.
PS. That Panther is great inspiration for a late war vehicle without zimmerit. The bane of many an armour buff.
Peace.
