The only
way to create very detailed and accurate pieces from brass or copper is to Photo Etch.
I searched the internet here and there and found quite few methodologies, where
most of them refer to preparing PCB circuit boards. There is significantly less
articles on photo etching at home for modellers. And in the end there is
certainly less with decent pictures and examples from home usage.
Up to now I used paper/foil and iron method. Now I see the difference! Here's how I did it....

October and November seem to have quite tight agenda. This weekend I went to Model Building Weekend (Modellbauwochenende) in Sollenau , around 30 km south of Vienna. In terms of size and number of models, similar to last week's event. Some of the models I have already seen last week, but especially few dioramas were worth to see again!

Today I went to see exhibition of plastic models GO MODELLING 2006 organized by IPMS Austria. Very nice event with shows of tips and tricks, and of course small market where you could have bought model kits, etched part, books etc.

Roof of the bridge of my
model is fully covered with gratings. Some buy them and some build them. Since I
like making things and I like all sorts of jigs and tools I decided to build
grating myself. As usual I searched the web and combined number of options
trying to accommodate what is applicable to my situation - tools and budget.
