Rubbing Out Clear Coat?
stitchdup replied to jaxenro's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
you might find less scratches if you alternate from side to side, with up and down each time you change pad. if you do all the sanding in one direction all each pad does is polish the scratches with the clear, when you alternate the pads they reduce the scratches because you are going across the scratches. Also if you feel any shuddering from the pad you will have some tiny specs of dust somewhere. A little dish soap helps to -

did you do all the sanding in one direction? I alternate direction with each pad and only get scratches if i pick up dirt on the pads -
Any suggestions on paint selection?

house of kolor paints are pretty bright, just use them over the brightest silver mettalic you can find, or you could try tamiya clear yellow over some of their silvers and golds. House of kolor paints can be loads of different shade depending on the base colours -
There must be air getting into the glue. i tend to keep one cap intact for swapping onto the glue thats in use and just swap it to the next each time, saving the opened caps for when in use

I've been looking around cults and i've noticed a few differences in how the models are displayed. i picked these 4 as they seem to be the most common among the ones i've looked at. is there a way to tell which are printable? i saved a guide to scaling which i think will help for resizing but another question is which of these files could i chop parts from and only print those parts in clear resin, for example side mirrors or the lights. i was thinking to print the lights and smaller parts seperately, as well as with the body and do more normal modelling to swap the lights to get a better looking model. anyway these are the styles i'm seeing most and some look better than others. can these even be editted? i dont mind learning new stuff when i know what the end goal is and even enjoy it then https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/game/cadillac-lasalle-series-50-sedan-1935-v2 https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/game/dodge-panel-van-1935 https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/game/volkswagen-corrado-g60-1988-printable-car-body https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/various/audi-rs5-lb-2014

wait, issn't there an irony in asking tamiya to put an electric motor in a new kit when it took them so long for them to stop adding them? lol -

that may be the case in america but in the rest of the world we have the audi rs series, bmw m series, mercedes amg, sneaky japanese sedans that hide skylines and evos under the skin and they all have 4 doors, but they also have racecars of them so we get to them rubbing handles on the track or flying sideays in rallying. even the suv kits that are somewhat popular aren't close to the sales of those and i expect any skyline or evo kit outsells all the suv kits combined -

Ford already sell 3d print files of most of the range, they have done for a fair number of years now. when 3d printing was still a distance from being done at home they had files out for the full pick up range. i saw one of the prints from that time and it was like a late 90s computer game version of the truck and nothing like what we can do at home now but thats the market for models of e cars. those owners are less likely to buy a traditional model kit when they can print something at home. what I'm trying to say is we wouldn't be likelly to buy a kit, but neither are the owners. these owners like to think of themselves as a bit ahead of the rest of us so a plastic kit they have to put effort into just isn't for them, a 3d print is right up their street, as simple or as complicated as they want to make it. I'm not putting down the owners, they just dont do things the way we do or would expect -
