noeyedears Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 love the way you did the coil, another cool tip for the future, thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nik W Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 Super work on the undercarriage bays, on my T.5 I opted to use the CMK resin undercarriage bays, but the amount of hacking, sanding, filing and swearing involved in getting them even close to fitting really wasn't worth all the hassle. Looking at these it shows that a bit of scratch-building is quite often a much better way to approach things rather than just throwing resin at something! Looking forward to seeing more of this!

LT Motta Posted February 16, 2013 Author Share Posted February 16, 2013 Thanks Michael and Ninja! The Carpet Monster has struck again and has eaten one "Micron PE" ... so I have had to find a solution: ComparingLightning Cockpit por Bernie Condon, no Flickr I know I need to align but I'll wait until the glue is 100% dry. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LT Motta Posted March 10, 2013 Author Share Posted March 10, 2013 Why is it never easy?! I'm struggling with Alclad Gloss Black Base... I don't know why but it became matt!!! So I've decided to polish it with Micromesh and airbrush it again... but micromesh rubbing a plastic surface creates static!!! My model now is black but covered by dust!!!Damn it!!!
