Beautiful work Francisco!!! I really like the way you display your Arizona. Must have taken a lot of gel to fill the display case :big_eyes:

No gel, Sylvain. That is just acryllic sheet covered with transparent blue-tinted plastic paper. :eyebrows:

Hey Francisco, I'm guessing you didn't use PE for your Ari? If so, what did you use to replace the yardarms on the forward fighting top? You know, the extremely elongated triangular pyramid ones.

Also, can anyone scan a copy of the GMM or WEM PE instruction sheets? I would like to match pics to descriptions. :big_grin:

Hi Timmy.
Sorry to be late in answering. I´ve been out for a few days. The triangular yardarms on the forward superstructure/mast I scratchbuilt by taking a T-shaped piece of plastic I got from the surplus, though this one could be a flat-shaped one, and glueing a piece of fine net wire to it, cut the net to fit the triangular shape then glue a rod of stretched sprue (upper arm of the yardarm) to the upper end of the net and outward end of the lower arm. If you want a closer pic I can take some closer ones.
Hope this helps.

Cheers.

Thanks again Francisco! What I need though, are measurements and stuff. Won't be starting on the kit for a long while though, so no hurry! :big_grin:
