I finally decided to start my Legion of Tau Drones. I had a plan, although this would be extremely repetitive and hopefully not take years to complete. Starting with the 4mm Styrene rod which was harder plastic than the usual StripStyrene, I used the Pipe Cutter to add as many gruves as possible. Then sanded the end before slicing it for a total of ten drones. I was tempted to get the Dremel out too, but persevered with the sanding disc. The second layer was 3.2 mm rods. I started off with the Pipe Cutter, but later switched to the Guillotine. This didn't always do a good vertical cut, but was easier to judge the width. Hopefully this will be a start of potentially a very long journey. |
