Diecast interior updates
Hi mate, pics would be helpful, I assume its a metal outer shell with some sort of plastic interior? Does the outer shell come off easily, eg: screw, rivet, etc?- pjgtech

Brave New World - Epoxy Resin U Boat Dio
Its nearly set, but still a bit pliable, so I got the pallette knife out and pushed a few wavelets into the surface, and tried to simulate a small wake behind the periscope. Once its all set, etc I may touch up the tops of the wavelets with some white tips.- pjgtech

Considering this as my first aircraft build
Looks a nice kit. Good luck with it if you choose to build it. I'm not a huge fan of Planes n Heli's, but I've still built a few. Personally I would get bored if I only stuck to one genre, so I like to mix it up a bit and try all sorts. But I do find that trying anything new is always a... -
Brave New World - Epoxy Resin U Boat Dio
Took more layers than I thought, I originally planned on about four layers, but I think I've done seven or eight layers now. Obviously you don't want to go too thick with the resin layers as it can then not set properly. Apparently you can buy special "deep pour" resin, but thats not what I'm...- pjgtech

Brave New World - Epoxy Resin U Boat Dio
Last nights layer pour.... you can see the wobbly bent / melted periscope! [Bah!] Then here is this mornings layer pour, almost completely covered now, just the tip of the periscope poking out.... NB: I know the sides are a bit "wavy".... this is a silicone bread tin mould, so its very soft...- pjgtech

The Football Thread
Must admit I can't get excited about Football anymore TBH. Used to love it a youngster, played it (badly), watched it on TV, went to games, read about it. Now, apart from the really big matches, FA cup final, Champions League final, Internationals, etc I rarely take an interest. I agree with the...- pjgtech

Schoolboy error, Doh! Last night I did a late layer pour, but had a few bubbles, So I got out the heat gun and gave it a quick blast, but, I had now added the sub to the resin/container..... and the sub is made of soft melty plastic...... so......not realising I had placed the heat gun a bit...- pjgtech

Brave New World - Epoxy Resin U Boat Dio
Second layer of Epoxy Resin in and have now attached the sub, invisible thread glued to each end, then wound round some lollisticks at the correct height, so the sub is at a slight angle, both sideways and the front lifted up slightly so it should look like its surfacing, the periscope, etc...- pjgtech

Brave New World - Epoxy Resin U Boat Dio
Jsut did the second layer, had lots of tiny bubbles this time, left it for 30 mins, but they were still there, so got the heat gun out and gave them a blast for 5 mins, seems to have got most out, we'll see what it sets like, last layer took a good 10-12 hours to fully set. This second layer is...- pjgtech

Hi and welcome mate, similar story to most on here, eg: used to make models as a kid, life gets in the way, then later in life we come back to it, Lol. Some airfix kits do still come with paints, cement and a brush, but they (paints and cement) are pretty dire TBH. All you really need is a set...- pjgtech

SAS Landy - Pink Panther - Tamiya - 1:35 scale
Well, despite ordering well before I started my SAS Pink Panther Landy, the extra 3D resin printed bits of stowage have (eventually) just arrived today! Even though the Landy is finished I think I will paint up these extra bits and add them, as they will give a bit more impact to the final...- pjgtech
