LSP_Kevin Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 Disaster! I've managed to spill an entire pot of liquid poly over my model table, completely immersing all four prop blades that i'd lined up to admire after applying the HobbyDecal stencils :angry: It's stripped all the paint off and left a rough, sticky finish covered in bits of tissue paper where I quickly mopped it off Never mind, something to fix tomorrow Ah, bummer mate. Sounds fixable though, so hopefully it won't cause you too much more pain. Kev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruzlkampf Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 Aaaaaagh! Bummer dude. Hope you get a chance to post some more progress pics soon(post-recovery), because I'm really interested in how this build is turning out. Never seen these markings before, and it was looking really neat. Hope you get everything buffed out OK! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Butler Posted August 28, 2009 Author Share Posted August 28, 2009 Finished I'll stick some finished photos over in that new forum, for the mean time here's a pic of my aerial wire. It's made out of a very thin piece of elastic that came out of one of my socks! I attached one end to a sewing needle then passed that through a hole in the canopy and then into the tailplane, leaving just the eye showing. As you can see, the aerial wire is very forgiving for my clumsy fingers (the roundal looks like it has a dirty border around it in the photo, you can't see that with your eyes - damn flash!)

Azgaron Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 Interesting arial wire! Nice to hear you are finished, and I'm looking forward to seeing the pics! Cheers, Håkan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ads Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 Nice dooley bird - i made a 72nd one as a kid but not as nice as this by a long shot - whats that around the roundels? Ads Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Butler Posted September 16, 2009 Author Share Posted September 16, 2009 Cheers Ads The mark around the roundal is the decal carrier film, it only seems to show up in flash photos :angry: If i'd used the kit stencils instead of the dry transfers there'd be loads more of this!
