I am about to venture into the untrodden world of etched brass with a 1/72 scale aircraft seat. I bough a set about 15 or more years ago on a whim and, by good fortune, was given a model for free - upholding the club tradition - because it had no seat.
Advice please:
What is the best medium for sticking bits of brass together?
Do I need any special tools for cutting and bending - I'm thinking a steel rule, hobby vice and tweezers would suffice for the size I am working on?
Is there any speacial preparation needed prior to painting?
Anything special I need to do after painting to seal it?
I could have gone online but I find it much more rewarding to ask you guys. Cheers in advance.
