Scratch built 1/6th scale US radio

[SatchboogieUK]

Hi guys,

This is the process for a radio I built for one of my Ardennes paratroopers in 1/6th scale.

(I made the cable out of my iphone earplugs)

and I made the switches and dials from spares off a 1/35 Dragon Stug III

The aerial was made from one of my guitar strings (an A string I believe lol)

then came the straps... I've never sewn/stitched anything before so this was a new experience!

Hinges on the cover so It can open and close

And finally a few shots of the radio on the figure pre painting;

And a few pics of the radio on its own;

Thanks for looking!

All comments appreciated,
Cheers,
Jonny.
