Model Forum / General / Models / July 2007Waffle zimmerit
Does anyone have a source for a stamp to make a waffle zimmerit pattern for a Stug III? I would like to try making my own rather than the Cavalier or Atak sets. > Does anyone have a source for a stamp to make a waffle zimmerit pattern for > a Stug III? > > I would like to try making my own rather than the Cavalier or Atak sets. It takes five minutes to make one with a razor saw from a piece of sprue...  Signature-sdg "Un gromono, mon royaume pour un gromono!"

Actually, it takes a little longer, I read too fast and didn't notice that you wanted a waffle pattern. Anyway, the first step is the same: using a razor saw and a file, cut a waffle pattern in a 5x5mm bit of plastic. Use this pattern to make a negative in a bit of epoxy putty stuck on a piece of sprue or a toothpick. Once the putty has cured, all you have to do is sand the sides and voilà, you have a waffle pattern. Signature-sdg "Un gromono, mon royaume pour un gromono!"

Airwaves makes a couple of white metal stamp Zimmerit stamp sets which include the waffle patterns. Available online from Hannants.

SignatureKevin (Bluey) "I'm not young enough to know everything." bluey69@west.net.com.au Thank you all for the advice. I ordered the roller set from Lion Roar, and will look at the metal set from Hannant's. Never ordered from them before- will they ship to the States? How long does it take? > Thank you all for the advice.

Yes, Hannants will ship to the states, but I believe they have a minimum order of 30 Pounds Sterling (around 60 bucks). On the plus side, the Value Added Tax is deducted from the price of overseas orders. Lion Roar products are available from Lucky Model in Hong Kong with free airmail delivery. Gerald Owens |
