Der Bugmeister Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 Building a '29 Ford, and I'm not totally thrilled with the effect of the moulded radiator grill. What sort of screening or other material have you found to be good for this application? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace-Garageguy Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 This is about the best I've seen. Some guys use screen, but I don't really think it looks right. http://www.ebay.com/itm/1-24-RADIATOR-FACE-PHOTO-ETCH-DETAIL-TAMIYA-REVELL-HIRO-/290650248378 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Der Bugmeister Posted November 14, 2012 Author Share Posted November 14, 2012 That stuff looks good, but a bit pricey for the level of detail on this project. Any idea on the dimension of the sheet they sell? I couldn't see any info on that... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace-Garageguy Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 My sheet is getting pretty small, but I think it comes in about 3"X4", which is enough for several models. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blunc Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 a long time ago I saw that wire mesh was used in transmission filters, I never got around to chasing down one to tear it apart but what I did see was very fine mesh and may suitable if you can salvage some.

Der Bugmeister Posted November 22, 2012 Author Share Posted November 22, 2012 I found a good mesh material at my LHS which I think is going to work out nicely. Cost less than an eighth of stuff that Bill suggested (granted that more expensive stuff looks really good) I'll post some pics once I get it assembled.
