Posted: Sat Aug 05, 2023 1:20 pm
A little trick to create realistic periscopes.
Applies to all 1/6 scale periscopes from Warprints.
You will need:
1. Aluminium tape

2. A sheet of translucent plastic.
Thicker is better.
You can use any flat plastic wrap.
For example, even a plastic bottle if it is squared.
3. Periscopes
Instructions:
1. Prepare precisely cut squares of both aluminium foil and translucent plastic.
This is the hardest part.
2. Stick the aluminium foil inside.
It's easy.The tape is self-adhesive.
Use something soft, like ear cleaning sticks, to press the tape down.
3. Glue translucent plastic - an imitation of periscope glass.
If you are using a second glue, use only a very small drop.
Almost any glue will be visible if it leaks where it is not supposed to be.
Done.
