Edward Gore Posted April 26 Author Share Posted April 26 Started cutting all of the sprue bits from the ‘glass’ parts. There are a lot of them. Then sanding carefully with sanding boards. Then finally carefully painting the edges black. This will hopefully block the glass prism effect that would make it look toy and out of scale. This is just the dust from sanding the parts of all the sprue gates. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edward Gore Posted Sunday at 06:52 PM Author Share Posted Sunday at 06:52 PM @cifenet, Thanks! I was going to install the 8 wheels for the photo but forgot 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edward Gore Posted Sunday at 06:59 PM Author Share Posted Sunday at 06:59 PM ‘Glass’ part D6 didn’t fit because of part C22 at the arrow (see arrow) for clearance. I had to pull part C22 out then glued it back in after glueing in D6. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edward Gore Posted 1 hour ago Author Share Posted 1 hour ago Cleaning the tiny G43 parts was actually more challenging than painting them. I’ll touch up the ends that are under the tape with the outer strut color by horse hair. thanks for looking... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
