  3. Hey Oliver, could you share with us mere mortals your magic secret to shrink real things down to 1/32 or 1/35 scale?
  4. Hi Oliver, Been lurking about, keeping my keen eye on you. All you do with your current build (as well as other ones) just driving me crazy. LOL Cheers and very happy modeling in 2023! p.s. And I hope you to present at least one of your everlasting builds before 2023 gives turn to 2024. πŸ˜‰

Then you take the "riveting tool" with your right hand, or left one, if you are a left-handed guy and make rivets. You should keep the tool perpendicular to the surface and push it down with rotating movement. But first you should try it on some bit of plastic to reach

I think it's of no good the gun is embedded in the fuselage so I managed to alter the in question area. First I cut the gun halves off the fuselage and filed the opening. Then I used piece of plastic to make "sole" of the gun covering and filed it to give it right shape. I used plastic glue to soften the back side of the sole to be more flexible and then bent it to fit the opening. Then I used just a
