The antenna parts are laser cut on thick fiber board.
There were some antenna pieces not on the master sheet. They weren't found in the bag, I thought they were missing. There were more parts on a smaller piece of fiber board.
Each antenna base is made up of two side by side long rectangle pieces. I wish the centers weren't cut all the way through. After the sides are removed from the master sheet you have two separate pieces.
TIP: Trust me - Mark the backs. It is confusing to get the right pieces together again.
The antenna bases got a wipe of medium CA glue.
Just the side edges were treated. The flat faces should be smooth enough after a shot of gloss white and sanding.
The CA'd sides were polish sanded with 400 grit on a block.
TIP: To keep the pieces together a piece of 20 lb. copy paper to the backs. A glue stick was used to attach the strip of paper.
On the left is the front, notice the laser cut lines for the antenna pieces. The picture on the right shows the back glued paper strip.
