QUOTE I've started work on my radical ebony chassis. Nothing if not authentic, the wood grain on the original ash chassis scales down to fine grain ebony in 1/32. Although the colour is not quite right, I may be able to bleach it a little.
Actually, ebony scales closer to 1/24 than 1/32 - a better way to go, and having the additional advantage of avoiding the need for bleach, would be to use boxwood - hard to find, but, if you have an old slide rule about (remember those, anyone) you might scavenge enough material for a small chassis.
