Scratch frame rails


Recommended Posts

  • 3 months later...

Soldered brass to form the frame rails.  When put together to form the frame it is a very rigid platform to do the rest of the building on.  Plastic frames can easily be warped and end up in a curve if they are not carefully put together.  The biggest problem is spacing the frame rails perfectly parallel and in the same plane.

I fully agree that brass is a wonderful way to build excellent models. 

A whole new world opens up, and Charles, Chariots of Fire makes about the finest brass models that you'll find on the internet.

Brass frames are an excellent idea.  Strong, they look real, and quickly learned.
