Ciao Thanks Giorgio Hang on, hang on, it's not finished yet… although I may have been fondling a Wyvern. Of course, because of the 'transfers over the clear bits', the masks had to come off: Look guys! You can see the insides! (If you shine a very bright light from just the right angle): Some touching up to do, as you can see. I think the 'transfers over the clear bits' worked nicely though: I'm hoping another coat of Aqua Gloss will sharpen it up at the end. Naked side and bottom to do tomorrow: I also need to: metallise the sticky out bits glue the gear doors on touch up in a few places blend in the canopy a bit more final satin coat. Nearly there. 23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CedB Posted January 6, 2021 Author Share Posted January 6, 2021 Thanks Dennis - the Tamiya was good actually, good coverage from the AB Curate's Egg this morning. A tip on BM about the Easycutting mat suggested you could leave tape on the mat. This is fine for Washi tape but guess what? Not for FilmoPlast. It won't come off. Much cursing and scraping later and the mat is clean. I then stuck a fresh strip on, cut some strips, stuck them on my glass block as usual and painted them: Hard to see isn't it? Tell me about it… With two pairs of tweezers (is that four tweezers then?) and much Anglo-Saxon we're here: Can't see the framing? How about now? As I covered the clear canopy in strips I realised that it would obscure even more of the 'see through' effect so I stopped: See? No, I couldn't either. Just the gear doors and then I'm ready to RFI. 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
