Instrument Body Assembly
Sample Faces
Make instrument bodies from
rolled strips of aluminum lithoplate
or strips of manila folder paper.
Paint the inside flat black to finish.
Brass or aluminum tube sections
can be substituted for the lithoplate
however the edges of the laser cut
parts will need to be sanded to reduce
the diameter slightly. Use bent wire
or pins painted white to simulate the
dial indicators.
Assemble with white glue only CA will
fog the plastic.
