Hello all,

I wonder if anyone had some tips for scratchbuilding cones. I'm rebuilding the Feifel air filters on a 1/25th Tamiya Tiger and need to recreate the bottom parts of them.

I've tried a couple of things, but with not a lot of success.

Thanks in advance,

Matt

Hi bin there and done it two years ago , All I did was search out a suitable plastic pen top and hey presto one or more cones , Try the cheap Dollar shops for bundles of them , in the UK we call them Pound shops cheers ian

Thanks Ian, I'll check it out.

I used this many years ago to make collectors for engine headers. Just plug in your numbers and do the simple math. Lay it out. cut it out and roll it. Sheet metal 101 is fun.
Check out the one for making nose cones. Maybe easier to find a suitable pen.
