Recently while repositioning some figures, I mixed up some styrene scraps with liquid
cement. If you have the time for the stuff to dry, this is still a fabulous medium to build up
small fabs.
Years ago I built a 1/6th scale limo, for the film "Strage days", my partner told me, he used
acrylic gesso in a hypo, for the rivets on the Hariers, built for the climax of "True lies".
Well a little impractical, those things were at least 1/8th, at the smallest. So hoping to
salvage a 1/35th Italeri "38 T", made bald by vigorous modifications: Ahem. I took some
fine line tape, added tics at the rivet spacing. Next I laid it ajacent to the seams, and
with a 5/0 pointer dabbed artists gesso next to the tics. Voila no more "male panzer
baldness". If you screw up let dry and pop it off with a blade.
The devil is in the details...and somtimes he's in my sock drawer. On the bench.
