I think you already know that I admire your skills and techniques greatly. It's just that - taking it all in one go - the thread did make funny reading up to that point. It was in no way a comment on you or your build.
I will be a "good boy" from now on and I'm sorry if I my post was ambiguous.
Your scratch built modification looks to be off to a good start.
PS Your are not only rallymaster but the SmileyMaster, too j/k |
Hi Klutz,
don't worry I do know you didn't say ridiculous,
I said that !
I know that reading that in one go could make people think I'm complitely crazy !
Well smileymaster I don't know, perhaps I think it could better significate the ton of what I say as I often doubt being well understood...
Ant that is funny, too !

2. You should NEVER sand metallic paints. The metallic particles are held in suspension within the carrier coat. Sanding thins the carrier coat and causes the "uniform" layer of metallic particles to become wavy (since you're removed the uniform carrier coat) and thus change the shade of paint. 1:1 auto painters call this "blushing", a splotchy, uneven metallic paintjob. The answer is to simply clearcoat and level the clear to a flat, smooth surface...luckily Tamiya's TS line and spray nozzle is an effective tool in creating smooth paintjobs that don't require sanding!
hth,

that's right, even if shine over orangepeel is not what I'm looking for !
