Gabe Q Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 I've got that kit halfway built somewhere in my build pile. You're right, it is a seam fest. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MechTech Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 Better you than me! That thing was a pain to build! It seems like I was sanding it for ages! - MT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big F Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 Awww you gotta love some of the old kits. All that sanding, wondering if you`ll sand right through the thing before the seam is gone. It`s a wonder any of us oldies bothered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
masterqq Posted August 8, 2007 Author Share Posted August 8, 2007 (edited) Thanks guys, more work done.. Construction completed, to ease the pain of seam fighting, especially on the legs, First I scrub the seam with the back of my N0. 11 blade, then I send it smooth, lastly I cover the whole surface by poking on the diluted Timaya putty, now this served as 2 purpose, first to cover the seam and as a bonus, it gave a sand casting like texture.... . basic painting is on, except the centre sensor housing... which will be painted next follow by decaling Edited August 8, 2007 by masterqq Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
