Welds on Armour?

[Julien]

I am doing a kit at the moment and intend to do it post war mounted on a plith, for this the hatches etc will be welded up, any idea of the best way to replicated this?

Cheers,

Julien

There's a couple of ways you can go about this Julien and both are fairly simple. The first is the old stretched sprue method, with the sprue glued to the model and smothered in Tamiya extra thin cement then textured with an old No 11 blade with the tip snapped off. The second is a little more tricky as it's harder to handle and involves very thin sausages of Miliput (or similar two part compound) placed on to the model where you want the weld seams, then textured with the tip of an old No 11 blade with the tip snapped off.

Cool,

I will try the sprue thing.
