If there not too deep, MR. Surfacer might work.
Deeper pit’s you could use Spot bondo. I’m not sure if White glue will stick to resin.
If I have do any sanding then it’s a no joy. It’s too small and too tight an area. In that case I’d just leave it as is. Well, thanks anyway. I might test the white glue.
You better get some sleep sir. Me too. Talk soon.
PS: Tomorrow I will have an update on the engine bells.
Later.
Personally, I’d just shove some scrap pieces of styrene like cut up sprues into the larger gaps and then cover it with whatever you’re using for putty.
It always worked for me anyhow.
Perfect Plastic Putty, which you can get at Amazon is pretty good for stuff you don’t want/ can’t sand. It’s water based so you can fill the area, wait ten mins for it to dry some, then scrub it with a moist cotton swab. That will take away the excess while leaving it in the recess without harming surrounding detail or being quite as much of a pain to get into narrow areas.
Hi Gam. I didn’t do a good job explaining the problem. The issue is not gaps. The issue is tiny air bubble divots from the molding process. They are on the front side of the seatbacks and it is really tough to get in there, even with a skinny sanding stick. The armrests get in the way. If not for the access issues–this would be a no-brainer.
Now–THIS–might work. I have been meaning to buy and try PPP. I just never got around to it. I will go over my lunch hour and see if my local HobbyTown has it. I am pretty sure they are stocking it.
Thanks for the tip. I completley forgot about this option.
Ah, sorry I misunderstood there. I’ve had resin with the zillion tiny pinholes too.
Hope the PPP works for you.
No problem Gam. I appreciate your PPP suggestion. Btw. HobbyTown did not have PPP. Then I remembered that I already have Vallejo Plastic Putty. It’s their version of it. I will try that tonight.
Here is my solution to the engine bell question:
It occurred to me that maybe I could find a very cheap model on Ebay. I found this. After shipping it was $13 and change. I will cannibalize this kit and keep the rest of the parts for some future need. I need to build up a spare parts bin. So, killing two birds with one stone.
I just spent the last hour and 9 minute’s "de-bugging my Javascript …AGAIN !!!
AAAARRRRGGGGGG!!!
Anyway’s, Those Nozzle’s look like a good solution.
Tim man-- you have got to save your pennies for a better PC. You are gonna disappear on me again. I just know it.
Thanks. They are a bit on the wee side of the scale but I wouldn’t want the opposite end of the spectrum either. And–after all. This is an advanced lightspeed propulsion system where a little does much. [proplr]
When my "Rock with letter’s on it " finally dies, it will serve one final purpose.
I’m gonna take a H A M M E R … and “harvest” it’s Organ’s ! ( it should have some interesting part’s for a scratchbuilt spaceship.)
I thought they were kinda small, but I wasn’t sure what look you were "shooting " for. I bet if you got the 1/144 scale kit, they would be “just right”.
I found a few shot’s of what the Nozzle’s looked like.
I also found this Scematic of the interior layout. But I have a B I G question…
Where is the Bathroom ? Or at the very least … a Waist Dump mechanism ???
When I get up after a long sleep, The first thing I do …is Ummmm… Purge the bladder.
I have heard of a paint that is “conductive” ( I do not recall namebrand ) But with it , you could “Paint” the electrical path, attach your light’s to one end, battery power to the other.
Then Paint your choice of color’s over it to concel it. I will do some “Digging” and see if I can find some, ( I could use some myself so dont “Panic” … I won’t be "charging " for my service’s . )
P.S. A “What If” picture I found…
Planet of the 1999 ???
Dang, that looks pretty cool the way they have it. Nice find on this. I am laughing though how we went from flashlight covers, to this! Lol. Sigh. I may have to reconsider. Dang it. You are killing my great eBay deal you know. Lol.
What! You are blowing my mind.
Wow Tim. This could open up some possibilities.
I know it ain"t cheap, but if you do get some… GET MORE THAN 1 BOTTLE OF IT !!!
They could easily pull it off the Market.
I’ll have to research how to terminate wires to it and such. This is very interesting. You are really bringing out the Jedi tonight.
I’m trying to share as much information as I can …while I can…
( Are computer’s suppose to smoke … ??? )
OMG. Don’t say that.
