I really never used resin and I don't know if I want to . I don't like the high temperatures resins get when curing plus I like modeling my track guards except when I run out of materials .

This is how I make my antenna's for my tanks and armor personal carriers . I hope this helps you out and enjoy .
[Thumb - IMG_2024.JPG]
I take a length of thin wire and bend a small end to 90 degrees

[Thumb - IMG_2026.JPG]
I then start to wrap the wire around a plastic label fastener

[Thumb - IMG_2031.JPG]
this is what it will look like.

[Thumb - IMG_2037.JPG]
you should be able to slip off the wire with ease .

[Thumb - IMG_2048.JPG]
Drill a small hole where you want the antenna to go .

[Thumb - IMG_2053.JPG]
Glue in the antenna into place .

[Thumb - IMG_2061.JPG]
Heat and stretch some plastic sprue .

[Thumb - IMG_2065.JPG]
Cut your plastic to the desired length and glue into the wire spiral .

An ultra secret club devoted to riveting and/or scratchbuilding, along with an inordinate amount of irrelevant banter (you can check Viktor von Domm and dsteingass' threads for examples )

I finished the turret storage . It turned out to be a pain but I put that down to being in a rush and not thinking it threw . I have learned from my mistake and the next few I need to build will be a lot easier .
[Thumb - IMG_2102.JPG]
This turned out to be a pain .

[Thumb - IMG_2104.JPG]
When I make the others I will do it different .

[Thumb - IMG_2113.JPG]
But I do like the finished product .

[Thumb - IMG_2115.JPG]
This is the ugly side but I will file done the over glued section that is what happens when you rush something .

[Thumb - IMG_2118.JPG]
Over all Im happy with the outcome .

I agree: great final project!

How do you go about bending your styrene rod? Is there heat involved, or just waiting for each section of glue to dry?
