levers and handles

Thanks Mike - I will sir

OK, Ive been doing some work on the handles and levers. First of all was the Gun cocking levers x2. I made these from Wooden dowels. Cut to length, sanded and stuck together and simply painted black (weathered a little);



Painted and loose fitted on the panel:

Left gun



Right gun



This one was more difficult, the engine stop handle. I tried to make the handle from card and paper and failed to make something of a substancial realistic shape, so..... I used putty. Its a first time for this material but after a lot of sanding, see what you think?





Lots of sanding



Bit of paint:



Now for the last of my letraset!!



I stuck it on an old ink stamp and painted this black, handle in position:





Hope you got some ideas from this set of pics.

Just the fuel lever left to build!!

Enjoy
