  2. For general knowledge...Yeti and I used the Badger sand blaster and an enclosed blasting cabinet. Sand (straigth from the beaches of Sarasota) seemed to leave pock-marks in our test piece. The aluminum oxide from badger is 220 grit and seems to work well with smoothing kits out. You can get the aluminum oxide in 220 grit much cheaper online than badger sells it.

  3. We bought a hobby media blaster....looks like an airbrush....gonna try and see if it takes down the roughness on that shapeways nylon...ill let you know if it works....will that fuselage fit in your tumbler? (i think you got a tumbler right?)

    i'm gonna try fine glass beads, aluminum oxide, garnet sand, and baking soda...i'm guessing baking soda will be the mildest but that nylon is tough.

  4. I've been working a lot over the weekends. I'm finally getting back in the saddle for this. Expect pics this weekend.

    Hopefully you will like my landing gear and cockpit.

    Reworked the vernier? thrusters to match the 1/48 Hase kit.

    Had to thicken up the radar "wing" and will have to throw in a rod the keep it from drooping on you.

  5. I know I'll probably do the blue/white version with mine but I wonder if anyone is planning to do the red or green or something else?

    Gloss red would really pop on the table.

  6. That's a tough piece to fix because there is little bonding area between the two broken pieces and the whole unit is subject to multiple forces of tension and bending stresses. I would superglue or epoxy the two pieces together and then i would back up the whole side with a new sheet of plastic to stiffen that whole side. (if it didn't affect the function/design)

    Cool Chem makes some great stuff...basically a hybrid super glue and epoxy.

    Tech Bond is similar.

    I could print out a whole new piece for you. Send exact dimensions and we can make it out of nylon or even metal.
