Expirience Modelers Wanted!!!

Ha ha ha ha!!!!! Sorry I had to laugh, this tells you how rusty my building has come to... oh boy I think I am going to go crazy with this, can you believe that I already put together the propellers and the rudders (with gold paint) and also give the hull two hands of red hull, ha ha ha ha I see that all that is going to waist because I forgot about the sims, dents, fills and etc. How can I remove the already mention parts without braking them? Or should I just mask that part? I think I am going to rename the model as  the "USS Experience Modelers"

You have reached the point where it might as well be finished from either one viewing angle, or made to look like your avatar. Either way, whatever, it's a plastic model.

I really hope that the rudders are not painted gold.

I think the kit is crappy, based on how it fought you.

Ha ha ha ha, no my friend I am not that rusty and rudders are not gold I still this that is room to fix this, if others can I can do it too, so a little more work but what a hell that is the hobby, so more sanding, more putty, more sanding, more glue, and will come great =) I'll keep you posted with pictures of this retaking and this adventure... funny thing I took this model because I thought it was going to be the easer to make from the ones I have in my storage, maybe I should of start with something else ha ha ha.

Hello again, anyone can tell me a good masking tape for clear canopies, I would like to use it to mask the helos by Trumpeter models, they're very small so I need a good masking tape. Thank you all.

Fortape you really can't beat Tamiya Tape, but for windows that small I usually like to use Elmer's White Glue and a toothpick. Hard to mess up (scratch) the surface with the wood, and if you mess up you can either wipe it off or let it dry and pick it off. You have to learn how it sticks to the surface... usually you'll get a circular dot that you can then push around a but to spread it out. Sometimes sharp corners you have to fill with a sharp knife, but the glue will act a bit as a lubricant so that if you touch the clear with the tip it won't scratch unless you REALLY prang into it.

Good wisdom. White glue is a great masking material for round spots like "port holes".

Toothpicks are the best modeling tools. I go through a box of 250 every model, but that's $ 1.79 at Bi Rite, and they compost in the land fill.

Applying glue, paint, sliding decals, and sticking up parts on a sheet of foam for the spray booth.

Only thing I've never used them for is an actual model component. Too crude.

Hey pianodog, any new updates on the build?

Likewise Pianodog, how are you getting on with your build? Enquiring minds want to know!
