Such a fragile little dish, I see the need for your better looking, and more robust, dish on that Mobile HQ.<br /><br />Love seeing all the different models that you cobble together to make new stuff.LordNthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02585343733856838884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6137839464119723643.post-5070502620430284642012-03-13T08:24:36.969-07:002012-03-13T08:24:36.969-07:00@ lasgunpacker: yes sir. not the average Wal Mart ...@ lasgunpacker: yes sir. not the average Wal Mart stuff, though it works about the same. i use Zap CA in the green bottle or Hobby Lobby Extreme Power thick formula. it is a thicker formula that doesn't run and acts as a bit of a gap filler as well. they come in nicely sized bottles rather than the tubes. i will also use a dab of Insta-Set accelerator every now and then.<br /><br />it is a pre-crash Spiff saucer!<br /><br />@ Fred: i use a technique similar to dry brushing, only it is not dry. the colors blend better if they are not allowed to dry entirely between coats. to blend the colors, i carefully apply less and less pressure to my brush stroke in a kind of circular motion. there are 3 layers of color. for example, if i want a blue tinted cockpit, i will start with a deep, dark blue, then build up a medium blue, and finally on top of that, a light blue. once those are dry, i dab on the reflections with plain white. then as a final touch after i have sealed the entire mini with a matte sealant, i go back and apply a super glossy enamel clear coat to really give it a glassy effect.Spaceman Spiffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09329618954033091781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6137839464119723643.post-38036814132686732492012-03-13T01:47:33.644-07:002012-03-13T01:47:33.644-07:00Gotta pick your brain.

Shouldn't it be crashed though?
