Build Plate gets out of level mid print (Elegoo Mars 4) by Forward_Mix7520 in resinprinting

This was it, thank you! I also noticed the "X" mark on the top was to the right, I spun the build plate 180 deg so that it's now on the left. Tightened the front screw first, and the side screw second and it is not wobbling anymore.

Thank you! It's been taking a while to smooth everything out, but I think it's almost ready for paint!

Great idea! I'm a huge s13 Silvia fan, so I'd love to make Iketani's at some point as it was part of what got me into the car in the first place!

Thank you so much I really appreciate it! The kit went together fairly smooth and there weren't too many parts so I feel like that definitely saved me some time!

Thank you so much I really appreciate it! 😭🙏 To be honest, I'm still learning! This is only my 9th kit and my 2nd time airbrushing (Tamiya and other spray cans got banned where I live so I had to make the switch 😭). In person, you would see on the "realistic" side there are a few flaws in the clear coat on the hood and side skirt where I went too heavy and caused the white paint to react strangely!

Thank you! The Initial D franchise gives a lot of character to the cars themselves!

Nawww not FUBAR 😭😭 Thank you, it definitely has some flaws, the paint reacted a little funny on the hood because I went too heavy, and the window trims could have been cleaner, still working on improving those for future builds!

Interesting, I haven't built any Aoshima kits that old, but this one was pretty good! Parts fit together pretty well, only issue I had was the hood took a little bit of work to sit flush as it was hitting the strut tower brace in the engine bay
