L'Orenoque Mamoli 1:100 scale

[The Gavel]

this is what i came up with (after much searching) for my coal chutes, the middle ones(6mm) are ok for l'Aigle at 1/115 and the smaller ones will do for the Sphinx at 1/200 . Etched stainless for transformer robots , about €10 . unfortunately from china , which would mean tarrifs for you....i can give you a link if you are interested.

Martin! Nifty!

I'm probably going with my black artists paper method. Below see the mock-up. Any reasons they wouldn't be black?

First pic is the kit plan. It only has 2 coaling chutes - monster sized at 14mm.



Following three pics are my mock-up with 6.35 mm chutes - what my L'Aigle plans have as the size at 1:100 scale. I punch out 1/4" dots. For the detail I punch a 3/16" dot and then punch 1/4" having centered the 3/16" hole lleaving me with a 1/16" wide circle 1/4" in diameter.
