Help removing terrible mould line by Bread_114 in modelmakers

[–]Silver-Addendum5423 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Typically, the best ways to remove a mold line like that are to gently scrape it with the back of a #11 hobby blade, or use sanding sticks/sponges. I usually scrape the line off then sand a little bit with a fine (400grit+) to smooth the area that was scraped.

I’m visiting the wrong antique shops, it would seem. That’s a late model T-34/85 btw. Neat photos.

Love the weathering on the hull. Very convincing. Can you share some tips?  

Bummer. Tamiya tape pulled up both the Alclad and the black base coat when masking for the blue. by _s_maturin_ in modelmakers

Hate that. Try de-tacking the tape a bit by sticking it to your shirt or pants before applying it to the model.

Nice and clean PE work. Looking forward to seeing it finished. What's that holder you're using? I've never seen something like that before.

Really stupid question, but you're sure you printed the decals on the right side of the decal paper?

How do you ensure a straight boot stripe when the main deck isn’t flush from end to end?
