ChrisS Posted March 21, 2004 Posted March 21, 2004 Folks, I'm "filling" the 1/24 scratched Galland Panzer for a Trump Bf109G6 I am working on. I have the frame all done and am looking for a clear resin or epoxy that will dry hard enough to shape and sand. Some thing like the navy guys use to make water I imagine.... Advice? TIA! Cheers~
LSP_Ray Posted March 21, 2004 Posted March 21, 2004 In 1/24th scale, couldn't you use a cut piece of hard plastic like from a CD case or something? Or go to your nearest Lowe's or Home Depot and beg for a scrap of their thinnest polycarbonate? I would think that would turn out nicer than trying to get epoxy poured with no bubbles in it and good clarity.
ChrisS Posted March 21, 2004 Author Posted March 21, 2004 Thanks Ray, CD case plastic is about 1/3 the thickness of that armor in 1/24. Maybe I can fake it by doing the front and back as separate pieces, but I was hoping for a solid piece to get the distortion just right hmmm. Still open to ideas here...
LSP_Ray Posted March 21, 2004 Posted March 21, 2004 How thick was that rear armour? I have some 1/8" poycarb in my storage shed as we speak. That would be 3" in 1/24 - too thick?
ChrisS Posted March 21, 2004 Author Posted March 21, 2004 Me'thinks that would be spot on. Can you spare a scrap? 1"X1" should be enough. I'll pay postage Let me know.
ChrisS Posted March 21, 2004 Author Posted March 21, 2004 Thanks Ray. I owe you one. You have addy right?
