What are you building? 8 years, 4 months ago Well im done with the unicorn for a little bit. im trying to decide on what to do with the V fin and ive been doing a little experimenting with sharpie but i still havent nailed down the effect i want. Im still deciding between ordering the water slides for this kit or just using the stickers and dry transfers that came with it.

very nice. the clear parts seam to have a glittery effect in them. is it really like that or it only seems that way on your photos? good job on managing nubs, cant find a single nubmark on anyone of your photos. 🙂
Thanks for the kind words. There really is glitter embedded in the clear (white) runners in this kit. The nub marks on those i cleaned up with tooth paste and a cotton swab. The inner frame and the blue (feet) are done in a gloss injection style plastic so those gate marks are impossible to remove. The placement of some of the decals will hide most of those but there are a few that stick out . With better quality photos you could see some 🙂 Im still debating on stickers or ordering custom water slides so this one is bench warming for a little bit
Go with waterslides. Just checked your vinegar method on waterslides from samuel (crest for X1) it worked great (used about 40-50% diluted vinegar).
Just keep in mind that most of 3rd party waterslides arent precut so you need to trim them a bit before you apply them.
