rul82iam Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 Is there anyone who can give me some advice on building entirely with resin? Perhaps a 'trick or technique' you use on all resin projects? This is a link to my progress: http://www.arcforums.com/forums/air/index....howtopic=226366 I am poking along-slowly but surely, but it seems like every step I take, I notice a mistake in the kit, or something I did wrong (for example: I learned quickly that resin needs lots of work with regard to fit). I had to use metal pins in the fuselage to expand the wing roots to get them close to flush to the solid-molded wings. Can I use a heat gun to bend things back? One of the tails is severely warped, and I am hesitant to warm it and bend it back. The material seems brittle. It's a steep learning curve for me, and any assistance/advice is gratefully welcomed!

Netz Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 Why didn't you attach this to your build thread??? you might get better response. Critique Corner is for finished Models. But I would not use the heat gun, I would emerse it in hot water to straighten out and distortion. Curt Quote Link to post Share on other sites
chukw Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 Looks like you're doing pretty well! I've got a step-by-step thread here , progressing at a glacial pace. I'm finding that getting the main components (including the vac canopy) lined up first is a real help- I can now proceed to the cockpit. Ihope to have a new posting up Sunday evening. Cheers! chuk Quote Link to post Share on other sites

My first experience with PhotoBucket too. I thought the links would help with ARC server space. Thanks for the hot water tip-sounds like it would work great! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
