Well, I am thinking of trying it. In the end, it is practice for my Polar Lights enterprises that I plan to do. My, uhm, modeling skills, which are non existant need some work before I try my hands on those. I am starting my "Enterprise" ship collection now. Going from sailing ships, up through Star Trek. Gives me some kind of goal. In the meantime, I am getting tons of practice (Making mistakes) with other models.
Example. I am working on the AMT BOP. I screwed up once on the wings, I thought I could brush paint different colors of green and or red without masking. It looked more like a chimp got a hold of it than anything. I started again. Got the base colors on. masked and started spraying a different color red. ( I am still a rattle can user). I used a Tamiya color but didn't check the can well. I sprayed, got a funny smell, but continued. When I finished, I unmasked to find that this paint was a "hot" paint. Showed my masking lines, and actually took of some of my enamel paint. What was going on. I had used a paint for polycarbonate. what ever that is. Anyway, back to the oven cleaner and try again.
Sometimes I get the feeling while modeling that I am playing with plastic wrap. You know, that kitchen stuff. You start to get it out of the box, tear and it all starts to stick together, by the time you get it apart, you have lost the electri static charge for it to do anything. never seems to fail when I use it. this is the same feeling I get when modeling. what ever I do seems to cause more problems that fixes. But it is a way to learn. I am sure I will ahve plenty of experience with the TOS Enterprise.
What is that phrase: If it isn't complete mind torture and disappointment, it isn't modeling. ? well, something like that. anyway, back to the oven cleaner once again. (Got to love that stuff)
