[Iron Mike]

Oh, to be THAT gifted!! Superb, Chuk!!

 

[chukw]

Oh, you guys! Can you tell I'm havin' fun here? I've been going through all my various Eduard sets looking for stuff that can be soldered... :gogo

 

[moon puppy]

Soldered, Eduards? If you get Ed to solder let me know. They coat their stuff in something that keeps it from being soldered. not sure what it is. I have been able to scrub down to brass but it's a real PITA and most time not worth the effort, or at least not my effort.

 

[chukw]

Well, I've never had a problem- soldered their stuff back on my U-boot with problems. You see the flux goo I use- maybe that's the difference. Lacquer thinner works really well if parts get really dirty, too. :huh: There's a guy on Hyperscale soldering up slat armor for his Stryker, gawd bless 'im!

 

[moon puppy]

U-Boat???

did you scrub the coating off the Eduard PE first? It just ain't gonna happen with Eduard coming out of the package. Not the current stuff at least.

 

[chukw]

No. I just heated it up 'n' stuff. I soldered some little bits here and there in the Me410, too. Maybe I'm just lucky? Or good-looking? Kind to animals?

Yes, I built a 1/72 U-boat- the only prob is that I named the files all different, non-sequential names- it would be a bear to sort out. I should be able to post some finished pics- I was really amazed to take 3rd in the Nats at Anaheim a couple of years ago.

Not only is your work sublime, Chuk, but you present it in such a way that even dense English boys can understand

Thanks, dense English boy!

[chukw]

My thanks and blushes! There's nothing like good photo ref to give you the confidence to break out thge styrene and go for it! I've really been getting a lot of use out of my punch-and-die sets- a really good investment!

Cheers!
