1/72 satellite dish help
Posted by arkhunter2002 on Sunday, February 10, 2008 10:05 PM

Okay guys, I need some help.  How should I approach scratch building a 1/72nd Satellite dish?

It's going to be for this diorama.

 

TIA,

Austin

Get a bag of googly eyes from the craft store. Select the size you want, cut off the back, and you have a miniature dish.  Make the antenna feeds, mounts etc from styrene etc from styrene rod & strip.

I'm making you some! The master is made and I will be casting copies out of resin...they'd already be done but the second part of the mold failed due to a wall collaspe of the casting box.

With the ARC forum down it was hard to get the message to you.

I've have a six foot dish, now I'll fab the receiver and support arm for it. Do you need the mounting pole and brackets too?

Email me direct, since we cannot rely on the forum (ARC) to be reliable.
