Actual sheets




Also, i'm working on 1/8 to 1/12 photo etch hose clamp set. One that actually will work, 'cause believe me, after studying various designs of various manufacturers, this is very rare... Most sets that need folding, are designed with faults, so these won't work. Sets that don't need any folding, are rather cable binders than hose clamps...

Also, while drawing the lotus 49B photo etch set, i have been reworking willans make safety belt design you see offered from other companies. Some need folding (hiro, ok product, best on market), some don't need anything (most makes) and do look rather 2d than 3d. Im pretty convident my go will outshine even hiro's effort...

Hose clamps are drawn... Ill be offering 2 separate sets, one depicting 1/12th scale, one for 1/8th.

9 different designs, over 150 clamps per set.
White color is to be etched away, black color will stay. Pic is back & front view of same sheet...

All of the included designs will be needing little folding to get 3D look, most of them will need bolts so you better start collecting these
Ehh, .5 & .6mm should do

Picture is zoomed in, real size would hide detail...

Wim, those hose clamps look really nice. Could you show us how to fold them and what they look like when folded and completed with bolt? I am very interested in these.

[jordan]

I can use both sets..I'll place my order when they are ready.Keep us updated !
