Model Forum / General / Models / July 2004Dealing w/Canopy Mold Lines & Scratches
I posted a new article on www.cybermodeler.com dealing with those frustrating Hasegawa (and others) mold lines on the canopy as well as scratching due to poor packaging. We look at Micro-Mesh and remove some scratches and a mold line on the Hasegawa 1/32 F-16 canopy. Check it out!

There's an even easier way - scrape the seam down carefully with a razor blade, and then use a piece of used (and it needs to be used, not right out of the box) Bounce fabric softener sheet to hand polish it. Then final polish off any waxy residue with a piece of clean flannel. Works great.

I like the way the Future treatment looks, but I've always assumed that Future may not stick to any residue left behind by the Bounce. It's the combination of the waxiness of the the fabric softener and the roughness of the sheet that makes the technique work. I'll have to try it on a scrap canopy and see.

Same here, it really is just plain easy to sand and polish them out. Also helps that Micro Mark sells sandpaper, and polishing pads up to 25,000 grit too :) "Only a Gentleman can insult me, and a true Gentleman never will..." > > > I posted a new article on www.cybermodeler.com dealing with those > > > frustrating Hasegawa (and others) mold lines on the canopy as well as [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] > Bill Shuey > (who even uses Future for floors) :-) I've used fresh Bounce for removing cat hair from rugs.

'e', I suspect most of the Ju 88s are from Revell with at least one Airfix and Frog. Right now what I'm mostly looking for is a certain discontinued Testors paint. You want 'em, I'll mail 'em to you.

Model Master Manganese Brown Metallic spray. I'm not sure just when it was discontinued but I have a couple of cars that I planned to use it on and one that was started. I'm not really into 'hot' colours on cars and that seems where Testors is headed.

[quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > drool, slobber, fart horribly and anything that isn't smart enough not > to eat its own turds is frankly too stupid to live in my house. Dogs require more attention than cats, which makes them less suitable as indoor pets from my prespective, .but frankly, I'm still convinced that lower forms of life should only come into the house for the purpose of being cooked and eaten. OTOH, I'm willing to make an exception for a well-behaved cat (such things do exist, relatively speaking). Our own cat exited this mortal coil earlier in the year, and he was one of those. We'll give it another try come September; I think maybe I will introduce the new cat to the spice cabinet and the large stew pot first thing, just in case he's really smart.

Again I point to the turd eating........too stupid for me.............now our two cats are both very well mannered and make delightful indoor pets. We had a third but at 18.5 years he went to sleep one day and that was it, sweet old critter who's worst habit was coming in from the rain soaking wet and wanting pets. The remaining two are 8 and their worst habits are the odd hairball yakked up now and then, as long as I don't find one barefoot at O'dark thirty everything's cool. >anything that isn't smart enough not >> > to eat its own turds is frankly too stupid to live in my house. [quoted text clipped - 17 lines] >then, as long as I don't find one barefoot at O'dark thirty everything's >cool. i had a 5 lb calico as a friend for 22 years. she was smart and understood the universe. she would play fight and never scratch, could read my mind and slept on my side purring all night. she never jumped up on stuff or people, did not hock up hairballs or ever make a mess. to this day when i am half asleep i feel her jump on the bed.

When my kids were little they had a small white, long haired mutt that used to love to roll in fresh cow patties. Dog eventually turned greenish white, sort of RAF Sky.
