I just found these ones at my local art n craft shop. These are probably used for gift wraps & packaging but I found a better use for them

what is that ugly thing? before and after. does it even fly?

nope... that is a model I made using just a shaving blade and some scrap thermocoal.. its a tiny model reminding me of all the cuts I got on my finger while making it.

How do you cover up yor models so neatly with tape?

a very sharp Scaple is used to cut perfectly.. the beauty of this tape is that override of one portion on another (same color) is not visible. I used 4 parts of tapes to cover the fuse.. Left, right, then top and then bottom.

They are used in packing of cartons etc, it just the same as the brown packing tape or transparent packing tape that we get.

Is that a very nice thing to say about the endeavours of a fellow modeller? I wonder. 

VC bhai    "Gusthakhiyaan.. maaf... ho!"

Let us challenge CrazyPilot to make one using similar material and build techniques, and see how he fares

PS: This post is "pun intended"

From the very start, Vikas tried to help people (me) as he joined the forum. He helped me find parts for my mini Heli. Crazypilot has also been a rather supportive person. I respect both of them. Kabhie kabhie ho jata hai. Forget it!

Anwar Sahab, I thought I was good at understanding puns, but I can't find it here...........where is the pun?

VC Sir,

Red Tape is missing, makes attractive with combination with yellow.
Now, Pink, Cyan and a few other color tape come in market also in Canning Street. Dimensions(0.5",1", 2", 4", 6" width) and 25/50/100mts long.

Best Tape Wonder 555. but slight thick than other cheap ones which may torn during pulling from Tape Rack.

You can even Color laser print on OHP Sheet and make professional finish. When comes to anti-friction cover, you may try colorful Carry-bag also.

Thanks.

Yeah... he had Golden, Silver, Grey and couple of others too. I got all of these for testing.. forgot to mention that they cost me Rs. 35/- for each (may be he looted me)

I have purchased for Rs 16/- Each for 1" 50mts and 24/- for 2" 50 mts.

Thans

I normally use the radium self adhesive tapes. I don't get it as a cellotape roll, i buy the rolled sheets. The person who sells it has a roadside printing stall near my house.

And each sheet roll costs Rs50

I too checked for them, but the problem is they are heavy in weight and the guy I asked was like Rs.50-75 per sqr. meter....  for sure trying to make a quick buck.

Yes weight is a genuine issue.
