  1. Nice. Both the 1:1 & the model.
  2. Thanks Dave. Everything is fine. Just couldn't make it. Hope to be back next year.
  3. Thanks for posting Dave.
  4. I tried the Tamiya white putty but it was too thick to get into the wholes. The super thin CA fills the holes just by using a tooth pick to spread it. When dry it is as strong as the resin. No chance for ghost marks when painting.
  5. Guys I think we are getting off topic here.
  6. I do use the slow curing resin. Since I don't have the pressure pot I am using a syringe through a small hole to get the resin everywhere in the mold. I have done this on previous bodies and it worked well.
  7. In my case I am doing the casting. I think I caused the problem because I used spray on mold release and didn't brush the body to break down the bubbles caused by the propellant.
  8. I have been using the 2n1 on the resin body. I figured it would fill holes after a number of paint/sanding/paint steps. But I wanted to make sure I had no paint problems for the final finish. The CA lets it be a fill, prime, sand reducing the numbers of steps and chances of sanding/changing some character lines of the body.
  9. Not quite that bad but close. The extra thin CA really work well to fill the holes and level evening out after sanding.
  10. Thanks. Still a lot of work to make it good. But thanks to everyone I now have a plan to move forward.
  11. Looks like the super thin C/A will do the trick. I tried it on 1 section and it filled the holes even the tiny ones easily.
  12. I was thinking about that. Did you use the super thin CA?
  13. I have a resin body that has a large amount of pin holes on the side. Anybody have a recommended way of filling these so they don't show after painting? Thanks in advance for your help & suggestions.
  14. I think some of these fit issues came about when he lowered the ride height.
  15. I have been using a compass/divider with a pin to cut round wheel wells in a resin body. But it is time consuming and wondered if there was a better tool for the job? Thanks in advance for your help.
  16. I never seen one w/o the slots in the chassis. Do you have a picture to post?
  17. Thanks for posting. I need to build some my GS kits.
  18. I cleaned the mirror & the sensor from manual mod. It took some sample pics and the smudge appears to be gone. Thanks for everyone's suggestions.
  19. I do have a cleaning kits that I have used before.
  20. Are there some mirrors that you can;t get to by just taking the lens off?
