Here is the finished 1/35th Stokes Basket I started over the week-end. Made from .020 brass rod, soldered with .022 solder wire, filed down to clean it up. Evergreen's Plastic .010 sheet cut to make the back support followed by a fine mesh.

Very nice end product. So, I'm intrigued by where this project is going? A flying helo perhaps? If so, what are your plans for elevating the helicoper?

Real good there buddy, I didn't know you knew your way around a soldering iron also, you just keep showing all kinds of talent, and not just been doing them to pass either, you been doing them in the upper scales.

I'm glad to see all the talent, you have the kind of talent that people are born with, and not many have that gift, keep up the gift.

This is what I'm talkin' 'bout! If you were to show a completed one to someone who has no idea re scratchbuilding, they would have to say "Where did you BUY that?" Good sense of achievement with that I'm sure you have... (Struth, talking bckwards like Yoda) :-)
Great job Joe
Cheers
