Don't get doweling at a hobby shop unless you can't get them elsewhere. All wood products are usually at a premium price. Best to get doweling at a wood craft store, Lumber Yard, Even some large hardware stores (Lowes, Home Depot).
The volume that these stores buy wood at reduces the cost. Hobby Stores only buy a little at a time pushing there costs up. It is true that the really small dimension wood can only be found at hobby stores though.

You are 100% correct on that Ronson. But when it comes to my hobbies, ring-maille, paper models, paintball etc etc, I usually don't have a problem spending money at the place where I know I can get exactly what I need. Even if I don't have the money!:curse: It has been one of my downfalls actually.ops:

Finally got the wing weps I have to date built
Janx whipped these up a while back but I never got round to building them. They built up nice and mounted better than I hoped for
This took me most all day since I'm doing streching on my fingers throughout the whole day, as well as chores, and this, and that
I still need to make another Fighter mode GU-11 to finish this baby out but I'm afraid I'm out of time for today.
I used toothpick tips down through the pylons and out the top.
I then drilled holes in the selected wing mount points and simply pop in the weapons The toothpick attachment also allows the weps rotate when the wings swing.
Enjoy,
G1

A cockpit, and a clear canopy.:twisted:That would be the iceing on the cake. I'd say give it a go.:thumb:
Alright here's some teaser photos of the rough draft bucket and instruments cowl.
The 1/72 Hasagawa Fighter's seat and mechanisims behind it are in place for canopy clerance testing as the paper seat will be the same size
See, told you it prints out at 1/72 scale
Janx has recieved the files I mailed him so it won't be long now What moderator wants to accept the files from him to get it up for DL?
Since I was egged on to do the cockpit that will fufill everything on my checklist After this it's just the rest of Janx's bits and she's done
I'll be starting on working up the clean cockpit and make the rest of the parts for it (paper this time ).
Steve0 thanks for those refs
