I am a little pooped ! all those tinny resin bubbles are wearing me down !!! Fewww !
Either the resin is spun too fast in the mould during the roto-casting…. or there isn't enough Mould release /surface tension diffuser to force the resin in all the little crannies…

It is by far… the hardest kit I worked on !!! Fixing it, that is… You get what you pay for !!!
I'm glad you guys are liking it !!! it should be pretty stunning once completed !!! I just hope I can bring it to completion or (Near Completion) before October ???

I might be able to fix another Seam or two and Film those results as well !!! this time I might try to film the Process... so others can follow up... if there is an Interest ???

Hard to keep it under 10min...



I have Dug down a Locator Plug Socket in the Right shoulder and Casted out of AVES the Plug...
althou not a petty job !!! the LIP will be covered with Fresh scales to match the wing skin...

I used the same Vaseline/AVES technique I shown in my YouTube video !



The Rear Pin needs to be extended but that's not too hard to do... a few mins. with a tinny Bur and a piece of Tubing a tad bigger and some C.A. glue and that will take care of that....

Just as it stands.... the joint is a lot stiffer !!! which is what I was after !!!



If you look carefully, you can see the micro-bubbles I have to content with!!! what a job !!! the never ending scraping !

Catch you guys later !

 

[Eastrock]

coming along great buds, yes some of the bubbles are quite visible but you can finish this one!!!

 

[Grendels]

Do keep at it, I want to see this one done!!

 

[Quaralane]

Those micro bubbles look nasty.
WOuld be almost tempting to call them 'skin texture'

[schweinhund227]

Just a small Update ! well its more of a Down Date !!! :-X

I tried fixing the large gap on the King G tail and well... didn't turn out good at all.. so
Back to square one ! I will remove the Bad skin graft and start over....

Not in the modeling mood anyhow ! so maybe that explains the Foul up ? No Mojo No Fun ! No Vote ?

[Eastrock]

I was wondering the same thing over the weekend. Oh, well, we all hit snags with builds, or otherwise have to let them sit for a while. Looking forward to seeing your next installment!
