Edward Gore Posted April 26, 2024 Author Share Posted April 26, 2024 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 April 28, 2024 Author Share Posted April 28, 2024 ‘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 May 4, 2024 Author Share Posted May 4, 2024 Cleaning the tiny G43 parts was actually more challenging than painting them.
