 Subject:  Detailing Periscopes?List thread.  
  
 Date:  May 2, 2005
 From:  mike McGregor 
Does any one know of any SBSs for building or detailing driver's periscopes? Or have any advice? Right now I'm working on a kit with plastic wedges molded to the hull to represent periscopes, but I'd like a bit more detail then that... I'm not too sure if I want to detail what's on the kit, or chop off the periscopes and start from scratch. Thr details for the inteiror portions of the periscope arn't really needed (the half below the hull roof). What I would like to do is build perisopes that are hollow enough to give some depth to the detail, with a clear peice at the front.
They'd be for a Leopard C1 in 1/35, but I'm sure the tecqnique could be borrowed from other projects...

Thanks,
Mike McGregor
