tie downs.

[wolfik]

hi all
for all those builds carrier decks here is my method....
much tie downs on the deck are a real problem and painted or brushed looks not really deep enough...
here my method...
a steel bar should be grinded as in the photo. and then you can punch the tie downs in the plastic or card deck (I prefere grey card box because its easier to make a wash with pastels or oils.). Im fixing greay card on the plate with double-sized-tape.
hope this helps some here ?

polystyrol?its PS known as plastic plates
all our models are from polystyrol PS
it works on other plastic too like acryl and polyacryl and polyureol
