I made all of my sons watch every Godzilla movie with me..the campy-er the better. They love him too. We have just about every Godzilla toy made. The one you noticed is my favorite. This one logged Many hours on the floor knocking over buildings made with foam blocks. Now he protects my bench from Rodan, marauding cats, and my general buffoonery. Occasionally he holds a model part or assembly, but I try not to distract him- P Holy crap, Rodan!!! We need an LSP Rodan!

JayW Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 Exquisite skinning Peter. What adhesive do you use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Jay- believe it or not, 3M Super 77 right out of the spray can. It comes out in a nice uniform mist. I am pretty careful to keep the nozzle tip clean. I just shoot the backside of the panel, let it set up, make sure my chakras are aligned, then slap it on the bare plastic. 14 years ago I did a test mule that I applied aluminum panels to with several different adhesives. The Super 77 is still hanging tough- cheers P JeepsGunsTanks, scvrobeson, Derek B and 3 others 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been using contact cement out of a can. Which is what Airscale uses as well. About how long does it take to set up? With the contact cement, depending on how thin the layer, you don't have much time to get the part in the right place - just a minute of less. And of course it goes on with a brush. Any downsides?

chaos07 Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 Awesome work. I'm always amazed at how "easy" some of this work can be done in the right hands. Well done, your skills certainly shine through. The wrinkles on the fuselage definitely look the part exceptionally well. scvrobeson and Pete Fleischmann 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
