bootneck Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 I've always been interested in having a go at photo-etch and would like to learn how to do it and where to get the parts in UK. I haven't come across anyone having successfully achieved this on an amateur basis, i.e. as a home modeller doing it for themselves and not business. Has anyone done this? If so, is it possible to provide some basic tips on what materials are required, where to get them in UK, how to make an etch? I'm not concerned about the drawing/illustration side of things, more about getting started in the physical process of making an etch from thin brass.

bootneck Posted January 8, 2016 Author Share Posted January 8, 2016 Hi MCC That's just what I was looking for! I did a search on here for photo-etch but I had used the hyphen between the two words. Thanks Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike McCabe Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 Only just saw this post, are you still thinking about doing your own etch? Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
