What's Photoetching?
In the last 12 years plastic model ship builders have had
a whole new world open up to them. About that time
Loren Perry started Gold Medal Models GMM.
The process of exposing thin metal to an etching
process he was able to fashion intricate railings,
ladders, and fine Radar screens to produce
real like metal parts to improve the hundreds of ship
kits on the market. The industry has blossomed
with other company's such as Tom's Models and
Flagship Models to develop etched sets for all warship
models. The Etching comes to you as a flat piece, it needs
to be painted, cut, bent and attached to the model.
The Flat metal as it comes to you!
Here are great examples how it will enhance a model.
Look even painted sailors! Click the picture for more information.
These are some great pictures sent to
us by master builder Darren Scannell.
