A bit more of my in progress. finished up a good bit of black for the two color parts. Also some touch up on chrome, just have the last few black paintings. Then final assembly, and this time I won’t miss a joint like I have already done with one leg. So off to dreamland, and rested eyes to make my last push to the end. Good luck with the […] View
Thanks HF. I do think I am getting better because I am fooling the advise of those that came before me. I’m still prone to stupid mistakes when I rush a kit tho.
hey guys I just spray painted my mg sinanju ova. one question I had was when I was putting it all together again I broke the waist peg. I just sanded it down filled in the hole, and drilled in a metal rod so I could turn the waist. does painting cause the plastic to be more brittle?
The spray paint has nothing to do with it, the MG Sinanju’s waist peg is notorious for snapping if it goes on at a slight angle. So don’t worry, it’s an issue with the kit itself, you’re doing fine.
well in reality some paints and thinners do make the plastic more brittle (chemical reaction) but that peg again has issues of its own. Enamel paint/thinner for one in enough quantities can be quite deadly on ABS plastics.
