    Hi all proof I've not given up on this.

    Here is one of the four pom poms on the next part (they just take so long)



    Here are the unfolded magazine casings for the rest of them



    Here they are folded



    Now I just have to cut the magazine's themselves and bend them then fit them, oh and then cut out and bend the body's, then cut off the magazine's off the plastic parts, oh then bend the cages for the magazines.

    I really don't think I will do PE pompoms again.

    I saw somewhere where someone makes resin and PE pompoms for 1/700 scale ships that have 100+ parts, including metal barrels. Whoever undertakes those is either a hero or totally insane, or maybe a masochist.

      Finally got the pompoms done on this part (get less and less modelling time these days)

        Hi Ken. That is a mind-boggling amount of PE and it's going to be a beauty when finished. I don't want to alarm you but all your photos seem to have disappeared apart from the very last post.

            How very odd. They're all there this morning, but last night all I could see were the ones in Ken's last post. Bloody technology!

                Incredible - need sun glasses with all that bling. Great skill and patience.

                            Hi Ken
                            Nice to see you are adding a kit to the PE! Never see so much etch - the detail is stunning.

                              Ken.
                              I'm full of admiration, that scale and the PE. Its something else !:thumb2::thumb2::thumb2:
