Hello
For my first experience, use a home photo-etch station is not very difficult

Doug
I used coreldraw for drawings
Sunstroke lasts 3 minutes for each side
the engraving requires a good proportion and a good temperature
I have followed advice of my seller

Chris
I think that make photoetched parts is interesting especially if you have a personal project like scratchbuilding or to do parts which you cannot find in trade.
it is very funny to draw parts and to built model
I didn’t expect for a professionnal result

Stephen
It is just what I need
it is definitely interest to make the own PE


a few photos more

How come you didn't make the spars out of photo-etch too?
