Scratchbuild Seminar 5-Styrene
j_nigrelli replied to GTmike400's topic in Tips, Tricks, and Tutorials
gee.... it looks so easy! -
any chance of posting more photos of this ride? i have seen a bolt on conversion kit for a straight axle [real car speed & parts catalog] and i briefly entertained making a stab at a model but it's far down on the list right now. nice job!

i believe Squadron Putty uses tuolene for a vehicle, which explains why it melts its way into the surrounding styrene to form a bond. for $3 it may no be worth trying to reconstitute if it has gone hard in the tube. but i have heard of the disolved styrene in MEK trick. again it seems like a lot of work to me [like trying to reinvent the, uh, computer] but is purportedly the best way to insure no shrinkage in the fill. i think it is because there are no dissimilar materials to separate.
