Touching up nub marks on Metallic/Gloss kits?
MechTech replied to potatotomato's topic in The Workshop!
Welcome Potatotomato to MW! Experiment with the sprue before touching your model. Chyll2 Made a good reccomendation with polishing. If cleaning causes causes burnish marks adjacent to the cutting point, just use a flush cutter and try a Sharpie marker. Paint markers are the next best thing for chromed parts (gold or silver). Those metalic coatings aren't easy to clean up. Hope that helps!-MT -
I love pickles, especially Zentraedi pickles! You made them look great! You make me want to crack open my set. I suddenly have the urge for pickled okra...-MT

I like the Old Man version better myself too! The colors look more realistic and the shading makes it more lifelike (at least on my phone)-MT

Thank you guys very much! Yeah, 9 years to really complete this after some changes in life. There is not much in 1/200 scale so I switched to 1/350th. I've already got most of what I wanted in 1/350th scale. Both here and on YouTube people are asking about a Prometheus or the whole SDF-1. The only way that will happen is if I totally lose my mind or some dude says "here's 2 million to build me one." Note the 2 million! ;-) A 1/350th Daedalus will be very roughly half the size of this build. Parts can be vacuum formed and machined easily. This next build is going to be more digital and CNC cut to save time. In keeping with my style, most of the same functions will still be available. Thanks again guys! Oh, here's the rest of the crated parts. - MT

Thank you guys! Yes, she's going to a new home. I'm engineering a a 1/350th version to be made as a kit. I've got a class that takes priority. After that I'm back on it.-MT

Thanks for the updates 505! That is a cool looking kit. I guess you have to slice the valks off the sprue sheet, interesting twist.-MT

Derex, that came out great! Nyankodevice,that thing is big enough to put by the door and scare salesmen away!-MT

Sorry for the late reply-lot's going on! Thank you guys VERY MUCH for all your positive feedback! Thank you Shawn, you originally helped me get some of the info over a decade ago! Thank you to those as well leaving great remarks on YouTube! The video has two purposes, finally compile everything into a video (with motion) and hopefully help get me into a new career as professional model maker. An international (un blocked version) is coming up soon. Thank you ALL as well for your encouragement over the years too, it means a lot! Here she is with a crate almost as complicated as she is! - MT

Looks great Ryuji! I like that color too! Now that I know what it is I'll have to get some. I like your subtle wear on it too.-MT

Macross II gets a bum rap by some, but I've always loved that design. Awesome job on the upgrades and showing again what can be done with paper!-MT

He mentions the 1/5000 & 1/8000 kits and even with translation it's hard to tell. Either way, MAD detailing indeed! Breathing new life into an old kit.-MT

Lot's of cool stuff up here! Too bad I'm working on a class right now :-( MT

Thanks, I'll do another version minus the music!-MT

!!! FINAL UPDATE TO PROJECT !!! [ X ] CONSTRUCTION [ X ] WIRING [ X ] PAINT Go to the bathroom, get a snack, and enjoy the movie 'cause it's 24 minutes long - what'd you expect after nine years worth of photos and videos!? - MT Video doesn't want to show, will try later.... - MT

That's cool! I love it and have done a couple myself, one Max and one Hikaru one back in the day. I wore them out, litterally. Thanks for sharing!-MT

Thanks for further info. When I saw the other software was cloud based and "rented" I dropped that idea!-MT
-
Great idea! I've had similar problems and 4x4mm graphite tubing braced the top great. The shape and form are a nice touch!-MT
-
Thanks for the update, I keep throwing around getting that kit!-MT

I think Nyankodevice would disagree! Seriously, let us know how the build goes. Coat that sucker with enough lauqer and it will be a plastic model anyhow;-) - MT
