@Grabekaau:

I think wala pa. But we can start our own by contacting all those involve here in istorya with regards to the modeling.

I'm into aircraft (WWII to mordern vintage), military naval ships, and military tanks and figures.

Military Figure WIP 1

(Ignore the Warhammer 40K Grey Knights Terminator)



I need to fill in the gaps with putty tomorrow.

Mga higala, kahinanglan nako inyo tabang. I was supposed to apply Super Glue on photo-etched straps for the rifle and "bazooka" (not shown) but nikaging naman ako Super Glue tube. Pirmi ni na mahitabo nako. Unsaon man pag-ensure na dili mukaging ang Super Glue after each use?

Naa pud ko bago ra gibasa na pwede pud daw clear epoxy. Mapalit ra ni sa hardware?

Anyway, any tips about working with photo-etched parts would be highly appreciated.

Good night

@cmontoya: buy this particular brand of superglue: evobond superglue. di mu gahi. ma hurot jud. adto inquire sa gaisano metro ayala hardware dept. now concerning other brands, try sod sa ref ang superglue after use then e-tuwad pag pahimutang. semi-effective sad. pwede sad ka maka use og A and B clear epoxy. pero di as instant bond sa superglue. 3 minutes ang curing time.
concerning PE parts, mag gamit jud kag superglue ana then mag metal primer ka before the final paint color.

@teoding: Salamat bai. I'll look for it next time I'm there. Bago ra mi gikan didto and I settled for Mighty Bond Kakita pud ko Clear Epoxy sa TruValue.

Naa na pud ko lain question. Although noob pa ko in terms of using putty, I really find it hard controlling Tamiya Epoxy Putty Smooth Surface (nakagamit ko sa una kato mu-dry under a lamp pero pang gap fill ra dyud to and not multi-purpose). Kung kato sad toothpaste putty sa Tamiya, lacquer base man pud and malanay plastic kung sobra. I used water to reduce it's stickiness but it sticks more to my shaping tools than to the plastic. I eventually was able to fill in the gaps but I'm not happy about the texture. Rough ra kaayo. Or normal ra ni and ma-smooth ra after sanding when dried?
