Hi Steve, sound advice thanks! Only second bash at welds. Over did the glue a tad, will get out the fine sanding sticks to tidy up. Used the front not back of the blade, thats one tip to remember!Hi Bob
Good start though it might be too irritating to improve the weld detail too much more
I would use extra thin to soften the sprue then use the back of the blade tip to create deeper weld detail, though it is getting there and after dust and weathering would be OK as it looks sealed up
HTH's?

Thanks for looking in JakkoLooking pretty good already. You can probably check better if you paint the hatch and its surrounding area, so they’re all the same colour — it’s often surprising how much more easily you can judge texture that way than if you’ve got different colours of materials together.
A bit of dust should hide the worse bits!
Hi PaulHi Bob
I’m with SteveH. The weld looks fine enough but I would soften it and create the weld with a scalpel. I find it easier though to create my welds with ‘worms‘ polymer clay and shape with a suitable tool.
Cheers

Might try that and see how they compare. Many thanks bob
