That is fantastic. As a bloke who has worked on air defence radar systems that is probably the coolest brass kit I've ever seen, very realisitc! and you made it yourself? wow!

Wow, just wow. . . That is an impressively realistic piece of kit mate. You planning on any anti-air artillery to go with it?

All you now need are some power cables/waveguides feeding a control van (though for the chimera a microwave shot would be easier, and more reliable from a tactical point of view.

Now that is impressive, very nice work. You are going to get a lot of fans (and no doubt some requests) from folks on here. Is brass etch simple to make?

It looks amazing. I was about to ask who makes this stuff and now I'm trully impressed. Good work and I agree you should try to sell it, I'm sure people would buy it.

I was asked to do so by secret weapon so I send them the template but they never payed for it and never product it ! so if someone want one I'll have to create a new model but it's relatively easy.

Where did you pick up the kit? What kind of acid does it use, and what kind of resist?
