PE at home.

Hey Derek,

There was an article in one of the model magazines one time about making your own PE parts but I don't recall off-hand which magazine or even roughly when it was. It didn't look that difficult (but don't things always look easier than they end up being?) :-) It involved getting a PC Board kit from Radio Shack (part # 276-1576) and just drawing your design on a sheet of brass and then disolving the brass around your design with this etching liquid. I've never tried it myself, although it did look intriguing, so I can't comment on the difficulty level.

Scale Auto Enthusiast ran a article some years back. I've got it, e-mail me your e-mail address, and I'll find it and scan it to you. There is a photo etch machine that you can buy, but I can't remember where I saw it offhand. If I remember, I'll let you know.

The July 1991 issue of your favorite modeling magazine has it all explained..!

Yepper, check out the rags these fellas mentioned. And as a bit of encouragement, my Dad was able to make quite a bit of brass in the darkroom many years ago. After a few duds, he was pumping out some pretty neat stuff, for the time.

Fade to Black...

Derek, I tried to e-mail you, they all came back. Email me your snail mail address, and I'll mail you copies if the FSM article, and the SAE article when I find it.
