pfinn | 16-Apr-09 20:28 | Jerry, I think it was you who preffered building on Parchment paper. Looks like it here. Would that be of the food prep variety? Also looks like it came off a roll. It does come in sheets too, I beleive. I'll be watching this build closely because I'm thinking of puchasing a Diels kit soon as well. Thanks. Phil |
jerry campbell | 17-Apr-09 01:24 | I use cooking parchment on a roll. As far as Diels kit is concerned they are made for flying and are very light construction and parts break very easily. |
pfinn | 17-Apr-09 01:57 | Thanks for the info. They definately look fragile. and thanks for the parts layout image. Haven't done a printwood model yet and still not too sure.Lots of cutting and notching, that's for sure. |
jerry campbell | 17-Apr-09 09:26 | Phil, be sure to get the razor blade holder, it was a godsend when I cut out and notched the Raiden parts. |
pfinn | 17-Apr-09 10:29 | I will. On the "Random Images" (don't know who, sorry) some builder made his own. By snipping the blade they had made different widths. I tried a stack-up of .020" inch diamond cut-off wheels with a Delrin depth-stop disc (I made a few for different depths) for use with a "Dremel" tool. Worked good as long as you don't wiggle (big, fat slot faster than you can blink an eye!) and I had clearance issues with the Dremel tool on "Non-Curved" (L.E & T.E) items. As always, the simpler, the better. But hey, I tried! |
