Today’s Handy Dandy Tip – Adding Sling Swivels To Your 1/35 Scale Weapons
If you’re
like me you’ve been through the whole evolution of the scale rifle
sling. First it’s no sling, just glue the gun to a hand ( or a back ).
Then it’s the single strip of whatever material with one end going to
the back and the other end going to the front. Then you get fancy and
fold the sling over for 2/3 the length to make it look a bit closer to
the real thing but it’s still a couple of blobs of glue fore and aft
that hold it in place.
And if
you’re really like me you end up making semi workable slings with
sliding keepers and the whole blob of glue attachment point just doesn’t
cut it anymore. I used to glue tiny little plastic swivels on but they
looked too oversize and these days with failing eyesight and sausage
fingers that was becoming more and more difficult. Magnifiers help the
eyesight but I’ve yet to find a tool to deal with sausage fingers ( a
good range of tweezers helps ).
