plasticbuddha | 16-Aug-07 15:36 | After countless hours muddling through inumerable sites, I finally found some usable (i.e. not distorted) photos of what appears to be the correct flight instruments. I promptly printed them out onto some semi-gloss paper using the highest setting on my cheapo printer. With a piece of clear acetate sandwiched, it looks close enough to scale. :) |

plasticbuddha | 17-Aug-07 03:37 | Hi moostang! No, the pin heads are way too big. Those are dots of DupliColor scratch filler/primer that I applied with a 0000 ? brush. Although they seem a bit heavy handed, I can control the finised size by repeated dabbing; essentially building up each dot. It's somewhat maddening as you have to get just the right consistency. Too much laquer thinner and the dot settles into a flat blob as opposed to a fasterner/rivet head. |
