Is the pringles tube half hight on this one and will the final product be available in a twin pack ??
Do you have the handrail digitaly modeled yet ? If so you should be able to convert it to a flat , though I think you already know that.
Hi Jubal and thanks for the comments.
Yes the Pringles tube is cut down to half height for this.... assemble to the tube and then use the horizontal beam to guide a knife blade around and voila.... thank mike for that I was struggling to find somewhere to buy the little pringles pack tubes! the idea of cutting a bit off and then THROWING IT AWAY never occured to me (doh!) :blushes:
It wont be in a twin pack. Partly because the tube is a somewhat free item (you get it for free with the crisps) whereas the amount of styrene in this kit and the amount of cutting isn't going to make it much cheaper than a Pryn-Gul tower. Also the tube isn't identical at each end - you want the closed in end for rigidity on the base of this model, and the lip at the top is a different profile to the metal base, so the roof wouldn't fit.
The hand rail IS digitally modeled, unwrapped and cut - it's just that I got it wrong and I cut the wrong number of holes for the railings in it. I'm going to try and make one tonight as i have the measurements now and at least i can finish this display model and paint it.
