Luvin the avatar Mike. While you are looking in I have a question for you. I am struggling to find a way/a tool for doing recessed circular grooves. The primary example would be the flat end of a shell. However there are others examples now and again where there is a need to scratch precise small circular grooves. Any ideas please??

That's turned out very nicely indeed

Very well done

Hello Steve,
Sorry for the late reply. Back in the day when we were doing cave drawings I came across some scribing templates from a company called Tritool numbers TPU-301,302 and 303. These give you circles, ovals, squares etc. And the one you will need is TPU-301 and this starts in mm from 0 (yes zero) to 9.5 dia circles. These were offered in the day when you were re-scribing all the panel lines on the Fujimi 1/72 scale Phantoms.
Amazon now do the same item £23 and call it 'Hasegawa Trytool Template Set 1 # TP01' and in it you get the same as the Tritool set.
Cheers
Mike.

Steve,
Had to remove the original avatar, SWMBO claimed it was a bigger exposure than mine....

Many thanks Mike. I will let you know how I get on. I have to scratch about 30 shell cannisters so they will be a great help. Many thanks again and happy modelling

Mike,
Nicely done this was the last version I believe before being replaced by Challenger 1.

Just had a gander on the old tinternet and the world of scribing sheets is enormous! Well I certainly learnt something new today so thank you for that. I will be ordering a few for Christmas time. In the mean time I found a cheapy harry one from Eduard so that's on its way and we will see how that goes. Many thanks

Bad lands indeed..... Luton is where I grew up and went to school!!!! All I can say is that it went down hill immediately upon my departure......

.... And if you believe that you'll believe anything!!
