空想之機械達 Brass Etching Model Kit Series: Ornithopter



開始砌Samu送我的模型,從一塊銅片取下飛機的支架,小心翼翼地把一條約1mm闊的銅線穿過細小的洞口,難!

不過這部份應該是整個模型最困難的部份了... 但,碰巧我家裡沒有萬能膠,我想我只好暫時閣置一晚...

This brass plate is ALL the parts of this ornithopter. I have to use a cutter to cut them out carefully. The plate is easy to be breakable If I cut it wrong, the ornithopter may not be constructed.

I have taken a photo of its wing. You should also see a very very thin wire here. I have to out this wire out from the plate and pass it through all tiny holes on this frame of wing. I really can't use my fingers to hold this wire because the scale of this wing is actually very small. The overall size is about 4 cm long. The holes that I mentioned is just about 1mm in diameter. I MUST need a pair of tweezers to hold the wire. BUT, thanks GOD that I don't need to use a magnifying glasses to make it, haha. My eyes are still functioning.

Finally I need it to mount this wire on the wing. BUT, I have just realized that I didn't have a glue in my home.... so I have to stop constructing it now...... and wait for tomorrow.....
