This excellent company supply all manners of precision metal sets. These beams (or rod to many people) are beautifully made and come in several different sizes. You can see the three that are being reviewed here, but there are nine different sets to my knowledge ranging from LT0060 0.2mm X 200mm containing six pieces through to LT0068 1.0mm X 200mm with 5 pieces.
Just think of all the uses you can put this little lot too: aerials for AFVs, ships and aircraft, pitot heads on the leading edges of wings for many different types, gun barrels for small scale subjects…the list is as endless as your imagination.
I’m certainly impressed by these items. We are going to find no end of uses for these products and we’ll be incorporating many into Build Now in-progress articles that you’ll see on these pages of the magazine over the coming months. The pick of the bunch for me has to be the micro beams that range down to such a small size of 0.2mm – making their appeal extremely broad to all scale modellers – whatever their chosen scale.
