What can I use for stripes that would be 1/4" wide and reasonably easy to work with? I thought maybe actual automotive black pin striping but is there any modeling alternatives? Thanks much!

I would think that actual automotive pin stripes will be too thick for a model, as in it'll be too raised.

@StraightOuttaCanadaEh works with 1/18 models, so he might have a good suggestion for your stripes.

Yeah just decals and you'll have to eyeball them and cut them. Can use hobby tape to make a template first

New Lego kit I received as Father's Day present. X-Wing fighter, complete with functioning x-wings. The two photos with the red posts show the wing support that allows the wings to be either open or closed.

(Edit: I fixed the one decal that is sticking up later)

He's probably complaining about the design not allowing him to sit low enough in the ship.

Uncleanness, lazy pics. Just need the wipers on. Didn't fully "smash" down the wires, so the hood is slightly open. Also, disappointed in how the BSI gold made the left side headlight fog up.

If I get too lazy, and/or it's too hot this weekend to paint correct the R32, I'll paint this instead. Don't think I'll be adding lights to this one since the taillights are just a flat area. No real reflector housing.

Deepening the panel lines took a while for some reason. Also had to use Tamiya cement on the front bumper since the Testors super glue didn't hold it. I was trying not to use the Tamiya cement since it melts the parts together, and I lost some of the bumper to fender panel line.

When are the masters of the plastic art coming back?? It has been some time....

JD001 · 07-16-2021, 01:14 PM

What's happening?? The "Plastic-Fantastics" gone very quiet!!!! The hot weather playing havoc with the shut lines? Suspensions drooping? Wings no longer stiff?
