Photo Etching Ideas was created by Kelley
I haven't learned to photo etch (yet), but until I do learn there are a few things might be nice to have. If somebody can do these with photo etching (or maybe a laser)let me know. For those that can do this commercially maybe others would be interested too. I hope others will add to the list to or agree with the one I started.
1. Roof details. TV antennas for those modeling from the 50s to the 80s, lightning rods and weather vanes for those out on the rural route.
2. Details for those nice churches. Crosses and different clock faces for steeples. 9Not just for churches..I need a set of 4 faces for a clock tower)
3. Cloths lines with wash on them. Merten makes some nice plastic ones but more would be nice.
4. Mail boxes (some for the rual route and the big boxes for the city slickers.)This might be better as a cast item though.
I will add to the list as it goes on. I know a lot of these can be scratched built but the time saved just painting and gluing these on and not building from scratch, could be used for other stuff.

Thanks for the tips. Crosses from Luft would be great. (I met him a couple times at train shows..really nice guy and he does great work.)
Does anyone make a handcar? I seen some in the picture section. They should be easy to make with photo etching.

Not too long ago, I feel like I saw a link to a Polish site that sold some cool brass stuff in Z at good prices. I remember the bicycles looked especially nice. Anyone remember?
