Trumpeter 1/35 SA-6 Gainful

I added some more details to the cabin bulkhead, the main part being a box with 43 buttons on the front. After making the basic shape from plastic sheet I drew vertical and horizontal lines on the front for the rows of buttons as these had to be straight, after which I drilled a series of 0.5mm holes through the front.


Using 0.5mm dia plastic rod cut to 3mm lengths, these were inserted into the holes to represent the buttons. When they were all in I carefully sanded the ends of the rods to make sure they all matched;


The box was then glued into place on the bulkhead and apart from a couple of other parts that need making, this area is pretty much complete.
