How should I go about scratchbuilding this Boomerang sniper detection device? I am really inexperienced when it comes to scratching but Ill give it a try.
Thanks
Evan

hey Evan.

That`s an easy one and a great piece too learn to sqratchbuild.
hmm..let see how to explane..

I wouldt use evergreen and brass wire too build this one..

Take rod the size from that big round thing on top.
cut him to height...
drill a hole in it the size from his pole.
glue a pole in it.
stick it in a mototool and sand it down to to form it has on the picture.
cut the pole off, and now drill (as far as I uderstand the picture) two small holes in to it.
Also drill two holes in the cut-off pole and use epoxy to glue 2 brass poles in it.
glue (epoxy)the sanded round thing in the 2 brass poles.

Do the same with the three poles on top and with the cirkel at the bottom.
Ill hope you understand..
Also I wouldt look for a better more detailed picture

I thought of using one of these small round legos as the base. Turn it upside down and sand off the LEGO on the bottom. Then attach the "microphone" things.

hi evan.

that a great start..

good luck

I think that LEGO piece is a good idea, but, will it accept glue? CA or other? Maybe make a resin copy of the LEGO and use that. Then, the big ring looks like the separator ring between the two halves of a click-top, ballpoint pen. Some old PE fret and some wire.

Totally possible!
You can do it!
