Tortuga Kustomz Posted August 2, 2021 Author Share Posted August 2, 2021 Hello fellas, here is my final on the interior of the beast, pretty happy with it, electronic box came out really good and I’m proud of that detail, made out of the kit electronic box and detailed with Slixx decals and some wires, made a multi line wire using thin wire a piece of styrene, think wire and shrinking tube, and love how that detail came out. work on the stirring wheel location and looks fine to me, and make the parachute released lever, everything looks clear and not crowded, hope you guys like it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattilacken Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 What a piece of art! The details look so good! Guess you need a microscope to work on it and to look at it in the display latter! Incredible! Like your process. Will try to adopt that to my C5-R Silverado. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Richard, now i need to focus on those windows, make them fit right, need to add some styrene to hold them in place, don't know how to do that yet, but will be fun just to find out how...

AmericanMuscleFan Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 I love your great determination Marcos, your obsession with creating all these details is exemplary and I have no doubt that the final result will be exceptional. For the windows, I know that there is a super glue (cyanoacrylate) designed specifically for this and it is not supposed to make white marks like the usual versions. I have a bottle of it but I haven't tried it yet... Perhaps clear two-part epoxy would still be the safest way? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProModNut Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 Marcos, do you mean how to use the styrene or how to attach the windows to the styrene? When I get that far on my 2 builds, I'm going to use a thin strip of sheet plastic across the bottom of the window at the door level, to attach the windows I'm going to use what they call canopy glue (also heard that white glue(Elmer's glue) works good), both glues go on white, but dry clear. Hope either of these work for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Francis, I feel so inspired by your detail work and that makes me go farther and pick my limits LOL, thanks for the tip on the glue, normally I use the testors glue for clear parts and work fine so far, but I’m trying to replicate the frame for the glass to make it a little bit more realistic, I did start that detail this morning, going to take me a while before I can say I happy with it but is on the way I think 7 hours ago, ProModNut said: Marcos, do you mean how to use the styrene or how to attach the windows to the styrene?

Thanks Richard, like a said to Francis, I’m trying to replicate the windows frame to make it more realistic, i did start that detail this morning but didn’t take any pictures , tomorrow will take some to show you guys what I have so far and what direction am taking, I think glueing is not a problem for me, is more making the details that I want LOL 1 hour ago, NYLIBUD said: Love it Thanks man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
