Me too! A bit of a disappointment!

No answer to the 'STONE" age question? :| And BTW. Does anyone know why I call these 'Honkers'? I'll bet Trevor does. But the 1st answer wins a 'Gold Key' ! 8) https://i.postimg.cc/TKhVrNfR/150px-Goldkeycomics-e.jpg [/quote] The old Gold Key comic, Turok, Son of Stone, used to refer to dinos a...

Testors clear parts cement is probably your best bet. Or five-minute epoxy.

Okay, apparently you never got a reasonable answer, so I'll try. Styrene model kits are assembled using solvent cements, which chemically melt the plastic and then evaporate, leaving the plastic joint welded together. The thicker solvent cements ("tube glues") have fillers in them which, y...

Congratulations!

Nice work!

For final assembly, after parts have been painted, I usually use 5-minute epoxy, which holds well, doesn't attack paint, and dries in (yep) five minutes.

I have to caution against using CA with baking soda (bicarb) as a gap filler. Many years ago I customized a 1940 Ford model, using CA and baking soda for all the bodywork. Now, those areas have dark oily-looking stains, and the filler has deteriorated. Best IMHO to use a two-part epoxy putty (Millip...

Those were pretty awesome!!!!

Thanks!

I'm scrambling to finish a naked, naked, oh so naked Velma for the NRA. If I luck out and my paint dries quickly, it's going to be just barely possible. My progress so far: https://www.flickr.com/photos/150559382 ... 326088033/

The color posters for the movie show a green outfit (or at least green on the highlighted areas)--and I think green's the best color. But I'd paint her thighs as though she were wearing tights or dark pantyhose.

When we had our bathroom remodelled, we ended up with a mysterious leak. The workman came out again, and found that the drywall guy had put a screw into one of the new pipes!

The clear acrylic mediums used by artists are non-yellowing and would be suitable for gloss-coating eyes.

Let's see: 10" model size, 600" real size. 600/10 = 60, so the kit is 1/60 scale. Saw something on the Monsters in Motion newsletter that might be of interest to you! :mrgreen: Link: https://www.monstersinmotion.com/cart/item-list-pt-c-2_203/rocketeer-and-dog-112-scale-figure-by-executive...

...But I'm here to ask a couple specific questions: 1. Do you permanently attach your finished models to your finished display bases? Usually, yes. But if I feel a model is going to be a problem to transport attached to a base, I may leave it loose--but usually located with a couple stout brass rod ...

Thanks!
