Lanmi Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 Good job so far, not an easy model. Go ahead with rivets! 😀 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeroenS Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 The casting looks very good indeed. Nice work so far! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pin Posted August 29, 2022 Author Share Posted August 29, 2022 There is a gap between canopy and the body, as usual for transparent parts, filled with purified PVA. Nothing can be done until it is cured so the best thing I can do is to tidy up the desk. Go Artemis! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeroenS Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 Ouch, is the paint reacting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Violation of "Blitz" rules - do not attempt short run, high gloss and NMF. I am thinking about abandoning an attempt of finishing it today 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevehnz Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 That is a real bummer, silver is such a finickety paint to use. It was looking really good too. Steve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lanmi Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 What a pitty. It really was looking great. I nearly missed same result in my blitzbuild. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
