So I got to thinking today, and yes it was scary. I was thinking about body work and pondering different techniques others use and techniques that I use that others may benefit from. One of the things with model building that takes a model to a higher level is removing body seam lines. I have found a really cheap way to address this. What I do is I get a sharpie and scribble along the seam lines making sure to cover both sides of the seam. When I go to sand them off, I make sure to sand on the seam lines until the sharpie is sanded away on both sides of the line. To make sure the body doesn't look goofy from over sanding some areas, make sure to sand along the entire seam to maintain the body lines. If you do this then you know there aren't any raised lines where the seam lines were. This is a pic with the front mold lines marked and the rear ones sanded smooth. I use flex pad sanding sticks, starting with coarse to medium to fine, so I won't see any sanding marks in the primer stage. So what kinds of tricks do you guys have?
