Ira Posted August 27, 2012 Author Posted August 27, 2012 bring it on. ive gotta try making my own vehicles one of these day but in small scale i cant afford 1/12, 1/16 and 1/8 I didn't get any modeling done this weekend. I was busy watching our local Little LeagueTeam from Petaluma, California at the LL World Series, they took 3rd!!! Amazing Baseball between California & Tennesee... Congratulations to all the Players!!! Back to Modeling...
Ira Posted August 28, 2012 Author Posted August 28, 2012 (edited) A PAIN IN THE GLASS!!! I got some Testors Red Label Glue on the rear window ...a lot of glue! I wiped the glue off but the window was messed up Bad. I cleaned the area with paint thinner and then wet sanded the window with some 320 Sandpaper. Then I changed to 1500 Sandpaper, then 2000, then 3000, then 5000, then 8000. Then I polished it with Novus Scratch Remover. Here it is in place... After glueing the window in place I outlined the window around the edges with a Black Sharpie. Then I painted the inside Flat Black outside the lines. I'm glad that worked...
