Aaaaand I give up. Second attempt at a Luna. Bought Alclad Chrome. Bought Tamiya gloss black spray. Got nice shiny black finish. Airbrushed a couple of light coats of chrome. Looking good. Model is supported by a stick up its ass so I don't touch the finish. At some point during the spraying of the ...

Alclad polishing?
What can I use that's just around-the-house to polish my first-ever Alclad finish? Facial tissues? Eyeglass lens cloth? The dog?

Fisheye attack.
Okay, I can NOT understand this one: 12" C-57D styrene kit, with lights. The plan is to give it a coat of Tamiya metallic black as a light blocker, then Tamiya Mica silver, both from spray cans, because Tamiya laquer always comes out so beautifully smooth. I wash the plastic parts thoroughly wi...

Use a high definition setting (800 to 1000 dpi). The images will become heavy, but the quality of the printed image is outstanding. File size is TINY if you use a vector program like CorelDRAW (or Illustrator for people silly enough to own Macs ;)), and you can print them out any size with perfect ...

It's usually a tad softer than kit styrene (the Evergreen stuff is, anyway). That makes it easier to cut and glue. I find it about the same as cutting out and putting together cardboard or paper shapes like we used to do in school art class. Here - the whole aft end of this kitbash was done with .02...
