Being bored while stuck inside under lock down, I decided to do some hobby related stuff. I've focused on other hobbies for many years and missed out on some releases from the good old days. Never gave up on 1/6 though.
First is a Torn Fu D2 built almost entirely from styrene. Some details are accentuated for visibility and strength. Colored handles and footman's loops are coated paperclip parts. Screws are real mini screws glued in place. Some aluminum rivets as knobs. Anoden Batterie is printed on card-stock. Shown unpainted for now. Getting primed and painted next. Dials are printed and glued to plastic disks. They'll be turn-able. I will use mylar sheet for the windows. Nothing on hand to do for fish eye lenses so making due.
Next is the Torn E.b. This one grew a bit when adding the outer frame as the thicknesses added up. It's most apparent when next to the Torn Fu but not bad enough to discard. Same deal, made with styrene and paper clips and such.
I ordered some parts to build a radio team for the Torn Fu d2. Haven't decided how I'm going to do the headphones and microphone. Maybe scratch those too, or maybe cannibalize some panzer ones from the parts bin.
