I scruffed up the etch so it will glue and also take paint better when the time comes.
I had to build two of their Shermans as prizes for a running event one or two years ago (I’m not quite sure anymore ) for reasons probably obvious from this announcement:—Wow Jakko, that Tiger is something else and interesting, but like you said, sort of toy like and not for most serious folks…..
Hi mate, most of the time I get home at 5 followed by some running, dinner and falling asleep on the couch...Wow Jakko, that Tiger is something else and interesting, but like you said, sort of toy like and not for most serious folks…..
Thank you Mr. Benson and I do hope to finish this one. You go Si and hope all is well with you and the family......
Hi Andrew, I have a set of Albion Alloys sanding sticks #542 that I use. I honestly can't tell you how coarse or what grit they are. I use the black/gray one and scruff with the gray side. I don't do any prep before working with etch other than washing my hands with dish soap. When done with my etch work and before painting, I brush on a good coat of Mr. Metal Primer and let it dry for 24 hours. I use no other prep techniques at all. HTHs a little...…
Thanks Fernando, I still have to get those shields on and paint the MG and then glue it all in place. Sometimes the CA just doesn't want to stick the etch together though. What time do you normally get home from work Buddy???
Hey Paul, I really would like to attempt it one day, but then again, I have this fear of Rattlesnakes! I am looking to get some stronger lenses for the Opti too. It's just that the tiny pieces tend to ping off and with the Opti on, it is hard to track their trajectory into the unknown. Then it's a half hour crawling around looking for it. Getting old sucks my friend, stay young.................
Sorry Simon, I know you really wanted to see metotally screw upbuilding that cupola. Maybe next time with a stronger Opti......…
Thanks again folks!!! You're the best!!!
