Well after a full day ! I give up !!! LOL
I mean I have enough for one day !!!
I made the mistake to buy a Lion Roar Photo-etch detail set ! Wow my God !!! The kit was hard enough on its own !!! I just added yet another kit in itself on top of it !!! LOL
I managed to make all all the suspension and added the biggest sheet of Photo etch I ever worked on !
after sanding down all the details... and concentrated on Erasing the Sink holes and Ejector pin marks underneath the fender area !
some would cover it in mud but... those machine are usually pampered ! and kept up !
so.... I made a little tool to erase them more efficiently !
I used a scriber impaled on a tiny piece of a Rough Sanding Stick ! rocking back and forth till the marks were all but gone !!!
I later polish the surface with a piece of Green scrubbing pad and that blended it pretty well ! a little mud and road dust will hide the rest !
Trumpeter has problems with those Huge Ejector pin marks.... sometime they are good at Hiding them and others... well.... you know what I mean !
After some sanding.... and yes.. .some more Green scrubbing pad polishing, the part will look better and will draw less attention, Maybe ? Sink holes or Pin marks are not a welcomed sight !!! even between friends !!!
Anyway....I got a year to play around this beast of a kit !!! I'm just glad this day is behind me !!! but I should have never bought that P.E. set !!! what a monster !!! 6 sheets wow !!! what was I thinking ?
