georgeusa Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 Shouldn't the topic be named or "How I Learnt to Love Fingers Stuck Together!" I have a Fantastic Plastic Hutter Hu-136 that appears to be an easy build, but resin is so deceptive while inticing. You think you have what looks like a simple kit and it rears it's evil head after you start with bubbles, warp parts, halves that don't match and empty interiors. Evil, evil, evil. But, hey, I'm in.

You're right there, though I find bubbles the worst, just when you think you have a perfect finish.....bubbles! I think they plan and plot it like that. Good to see you want to join the madness....Ooops I mean fun! I have never got my fingers glued, what am I doing wrong? Gosh you may have to run a class in how not to, there's a little bit of me in every resin beasty I've built.........hmmm what a scary though! Maybe this will be you first time?

georgeusa Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 Pin, You are a better man than I. Superglue and I are great friends as it seems very attracted to me. Not only do I glue my fingers together, but on more than one occasion with the thin stuff, I have not noticed it trickling out from the model as it is gluing my legs together. (Mustn't build resin in shorts, got to remind myself of this.) I always have a bottle of superglue remover nearby to just use on myself!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
English Electric Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 What's the news on this one? Is the target nearly there yet? Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wkennerley Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 I for one would love to see some resin AFV's in the build, invite any others you know to come and join the fun. I have a resin Marmon Herrington so I can do a twin build with the Siai-Marchetti! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trickyrich Posted October 1, 2013 Author Share Posted October 1, 2013 we just need four more lost souls........opps I mean interested people who'd like to try something different. or just four lost souls who like the smell of resin dust in the morning..........or just getting their fingers stuck together with CA cement Again it would be open to any subject matter that its main components are made of resin and having more than 10 resin parts would be preferred. Really resin conversions don't really count, you'd have to be replacing 90% of the main plastic components, but just ask. So give anyone else you know a nudge to come join, would love to see some more AFV's, ships, cars, SYFY stuff are well. I currently have four to consider at the moment for this build; 1/72 Czech Masters Westland Wyvern TF.1 (wt 22 cyl RR Eagle engine) 1/72 Planet Models Me329 1/48 MPM He219A (this require a lot of work!!!) 1/48 Planet Models Ju388 J-1 (4 mths mightn’t be enough for this one!!) Though I’m bound to have more to choose from as it gets closer.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-Neu- Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 Hmm, depending on how the Korean War and Sabre GBs turn out I will contribute. I have a few CMR kits in the stash... I'd probably like to do their early Spitfire IX (rolls royce conversion) or the Typhoon prototype. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
