Have a look at my 1/350 Hood custom etch set ! (large pic)

[ontheslipway]

2006 starts well, my etch set is finished. Here's a nice scan of my work. Now I only need to add the model. I intend to have detail pics indicating what part does what later.

Usually newbye question: how you can realize it?

@ Mathias: draw in Cad, and have it etched at a professional etcher

@Foeth: why does all the dutchies I know have not this interests and expecially such patience?

[Kit-Builder]

G’Day Foeth,
I’ve looked at you’re work just quickly, earlier in the week, but had no time to comment as I was very tired from work.
Now that I have had a better look I would like to congratulate you on this extremely intricate and professional work .
I don’t even have the techniques to do vac-molding yet and now you pull this one out on me .
Very proficient and I’m looking forward to seeing this lot transform you Hood (must be in danger of becoming the real thing in 1:350 scale ).
Regards Steve
