    I read great things about Gators Grip thin blend for PE, bought some and was underwhelmed with the results.

     

    Same here. I recently acquired some Micro Krystal Klear so I'll give it a trial too. Trying to build a 1/144 Sopwith pup (when I get the time) and making a mess of it with CA, didn't even bovver with Gator Grip. 

     

    Funnily enough Kev, my favourite for absolutley clear windows is wimmens nail varnish but it has a seriously bad effect on Acrylic paint (it melts it).

    @Murdo I had the same thought. Have to seen the wing fold mechanism @TheBaron is busily drafting to print? Teeny tiny art

     

    Sure your brother-in-law just doesn’t want someone else having a go on his toy?

     

    He'd happily let me have a go on his new toy but he's in Canada and I'm in Scotland.      :D

     

     

    Okay, started reading The Baron's Sea Vixen FAW post... Only 48 pages? This might take a wee while...    :rofl:

    Not to be a trouble maker Murdo but how small ya want to go?

     

    As small as the nautical greeblies on this scratch built 1/350 Ship.

    The masts / Radars / searchlights / and the loads of ventilators etc.

    I think I made the anchor windlass of 23 separate parts:

    The RHIBs on the main deck:

    It would be great to be able to just "print" more of these items as many of then are quite common on ships.

     

    The model is 7" long

    My poor mind is boggling with talk of lofts and rails.  My life is not what I thought it was.  I store kits in the loft and trains travel on rails. :blink:

     

    Tis witchcraft I tell you, witchcraft! Nowt good will come of this!

     

    To be serious, my brother in law has an Elgoo one and is almost constantly printing stuff on it, he thinks it's absolutely fabulous! I was green with envy and very tempted until I discovered it just won't print stuff small enough for what I want.
