    taking pictures is quite tricky... [xx(]

    size comparison with a n-scale microtrains truck..check out the nice 3-dimensional look ! these small antennas have been etched from two-sides following prototype pictures.
    currently i have brass ones in stock. in approx 2-3 weeks i will have stainless steel as well.

    these antennas look similar to sunrise enterprises version. but they're etched at a much higher precision. they are NOT copies ! i had them draw , develop the films and had them etched after i approved the engineering samples

    shipping worldwide thru priority mail is $3.
    this might be good for 30 frames with 6 antennas each.

    I've been giving these excellent looking Sinclairs some thought and I believe that this is what we need more of in this hobby.....people that see a need in the hobby, and do what they can to bring that need to the hobbiest. And the result is usually a great product. Sunrise had a great product for the time. And now these are done with more modern techniques and look fantastic. Way to go Sandro! :)

    Are you just thinking parts that can be done with brass etching, or casting too?

    no, just wondering how big of a market there would be besides companies like blma, gmm and others.

    because first of all you spend quite a bit of money before you see the first of your own parts in your hands.

    I just placed my order. I realized one of the engines on my to do list has 3 sinclair antennas. These will really complete the look nicely.
