Hi Bogs,

I wondered if you'd gobne to ground! Hope I'm an advert for British Power Boats, at least I'm sure Hubert Scott-Paine would appreciate the exposure he was one for active marketing

I remember the star wheels my nan used for dressmaking; I don't think they (or even a beefed up version) would make much impression on 0.5mm brass.

Quick update - I gave it a spray of high-build primer as an experiment and teh planishing marks disappear to leave it like a baby's proverbial!

I'll have to clean it off and respray with etch primer before the high-build but I'm relieved to see I can have a half decent result.

Hi All

Google "Tracing wheel"

Available in various pitches from most local sewing shops. or on the net.

At a fraction of the 90 euro charged in the previous link.

Cheers

John

Try what I used as a kid making model planes - a cog wheel out of old clock, pitch to suit, mounted in wooden clothes peg. No drawings as your peg may be different.
