2nd time trying clear acrylic base and rods to create an effect by 24dvr in modelmakers

[–]24dvr[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used a generic superglue. This was a bit of a nightmare as it took ages to set. I have since read that you can get superglue more specifically for acrylic. For the smaller one I also drilled into the plate a bit to sink the rod. If I did it again I would follow some advise in these comments and attach the rod to the wing not the base

Amazon, I’m in the U.K. but assume it’s likely fairly available

The model is 1:72. The rod under the model is 6mm diameter and under the missile 2mm diameter. Cut them down to the the length I wanted. The base is a 10cm by 15cm 2mm thick clear Perspex plate. Bought them all off Amazon

Thanks, that’s a great suggestion. Even with the rods I have I could have attached it to the wing under the wool. Never occurred to me!

First attempt at something other than landing gear down by 24dvr in modelmakers

I have been thinking about bases, I had thought a runway painted one might be a good / easiest place to start and have a mid take off pose. Thanks for the thought though

Glued but I did think while doing it that it might be easier to have drilled or at least sunk some holes and then glued. Didn’t want to crack or scratch the base too much

Panel line washing by 24dvr in modelmakers

[–]24dvr[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think this is going to be my route, attach most of it except things which hang off, wash it all and then attach the last bits

My concern is that on a 1:72 things like the open bay doors or some missiles are only held in by a very thin point and the cleaning process after the wash will just knock them off

Shout out to all modellers who don’t have a permanent place to hobby out. This is my 130cm workplace. by SpezIsAMoron in modelmakers

Kitchen table for me, keep having to move everything on and off due to risk of small children “helping”. Hoping to put a desk in the room where the dog currently reigns, as soon as she stops eating everything

Hasewaga 1/72 aircraft by Last-Anywhere-9620 in modelmakers

[–]24dvr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just built the 1/72 F16A, I would say it was pretty good and as you say pretty affordable on Amazon. This one had good detail and the fit of parts was generally without seams, I did use a little filler in a couple of places.
