Re: Weld seams - King Tiger
I ask about the width and type of welds because "Archer Fine Transfers" makes resin welds in varying widths and two different types.

I have several sets and hope to be able to use them on my Abrams.
I also have some PE Welds made by Hobby Design.

Top Studio also does PE Welds

Re: Weld seams - King Tiger
I note shapeways do a 1/16 set with 1mm and 4mm weld seams? The difficulty is knowing how wide the seams needs to be on the model? Welds in differing areas will be differing sizes depending on what was being welded.

These look good! How wide are the 1/16 weld lines?BarryC wrote:I ask about the width and type of welds because "Archer Fine Transfers" makes resin welds in varying widths and two different types.

Re: Weld seams - King Tiger
I finally got my hands on 2 sets of the Mirage 1/16 Copper Weld line sets and 1 in 1/35. I've got to say I'm impressed! They come as a metre long string as it were and you just cut off sections as required. They are the perfect width for my KT weld seems and I'll use the smaller 1/35 for various smaller welds on fittings etc. They will certainly greatly enhance the appearance of the model!

Re: Weld seams - King Tiger
Well, with a little practice and patience (especially the patience) and a 3D-pen you could produce any size weld seam you want... viewtopic.php?p=316098#p316098

Re: Weld seams - King Tiger
Out of production? Luckily I managed to get my hands on the 1/16 set, and I have to say its really very good! It will make a world of difference to my Tamiya KT! Whoever thought of it was a genius, its the perfect product, and now its oop!! Typical!
