Model Expo Melbourne AUS is next week, who's coming from LSP?

Probably just Saturday for me, but unconfirmed at this stage. Kev -
Tweaklist for the Dragon/Cyberhobby/Hobby 2000 BF-109E
LSP_Kevin replied to Uncarina's topic in LSP Discussion
Thanks, Tom. That doesn’t look like one of Thierry’s, so I’m a bit unsure of the provenance. If we can sort that out, we can publish it on the website. Kev -
I'm a ballpark guy, too. As far as models are concerned, I think making the balance and contrast between the various colours look convincing is the most important thing, with actual colour authenticity a distant second. On a more technical (and perhaps philosophical) note, the first thing I ever learned about colour theory is that colours don't actually exist. They're all just various wavelengths of light, picked up by the various rods and cones in our eyes, and converted to colours by our brains. Other creatures can (and do) interpret those wavelengths completely differently. So I take comfort in the fact that there's no objective reality when it comes to colours, and it's all just a complex neurological sleight of hand. Kev

Howdy folks, I've just published this week's What's New update. Enjoy! Kev

It's surface contamination, rather than a scuff or mark. This is because some dirty cleaning cleaning solution has been left on the model, and the uncured resin it contains gets cured to the surface of the model. (I have no idea why it comes out looking like white powder, though.) Your best best is to buff it out with a sanding sponge so that there's nothing proud of the model's surface, and then just paint over it. Kev

Welcome to the Shark Mouths Group Build! This will run from 1 June 2025 to 30 November 2025. The theme should be self-explanatory: any aircraft featuring a shark's mouth design on the nose or engine cowlings. Our standard LSP Group Eligibility criteria applies: the kit must be less that 25% complete at the time of entering the Group Build, and satisfy our definition of an LSP kit (aircraft or helicopter, 1/35 scale or larger). Have fun! Kev

Thanks, Matt. A mixed bag indeed. Panel lines look way too heavy to me, but it's a surprisingly well-detailed kit overall. The voids in the wheels are most likely drain holes in the STL file, so that uncured resin doesn't get trapped inside the part. This can be disastrous down the line (no need to ask me how I know). The white scuffing is also most likely from some incomplete cleaning of the parts after printing, but before curing. Will you be doing a build thread? Kev

I have both, and I'm still hopeless! Kev -
I think if you flipped the products around in that statement, it would still hold true. Go with whatever is easiest or cheapest for you to find! The Tamiya spray can primers are excellent too, though of more limited utility. Kev
