    What happens if you do touch ups I was doing some touch ups on the model in some areas with the silver marker. In the process this happened - What happened was that the marker leached out more marking material and it oozed over on top of the model.:headbange::headbange::headbange: Now do we...

    Strut assembly on the pad Tabs Tabs are folded in place on the struts and glued. While the glue is setting hold the tabs in place and fold down the ends (see below). Struts with tabs. Struts glued on the landing pad. At this point I realized I created two trusses that needed reinforcement...

    Landing pad This is a landing pad found on the Genet site https://www.genetmodels.com/freestuff.php Note the edge coloring to keep it black on the edges to remove glare on lining up the top and bottom portions. Top and bottom landing pad portions glued together. The hard part about this is...

    OK finally here we go with the struts. Struts - first pre-fit the struts and check for alignment issues As you can see we have a MINOR issue here. The upper wings and lower rocket pods are out of alignment just a bit even when you assemble everything on the seams. Recommend in future builds...

    OK here we go with the repair.. Starting with the skirt portion. Glue from the seam and get it positioned. Then work your way around. Glue in increments and continue to work your way around. Done. If any edges over lap glue and lightly press otherwise the paper will crease the wrong way...

    After about a week (my time) thinking about a way to overcome the above, a solution hit me... I cut into the model until the upper portion was able to move. Then moved the model until it was vertical then glued everything in place What happened was that when the model was re-positioned to a...

    I'm never sure about cameras - sometimes it's the lighting, or the focus, or the angle. There is still a real difference in resolution between the human eye and the digital sensor. Photography is an art. Of course we haven't even gotten into the old film vs digital argument or even AI...

    The gap in the picture at the top of the model is actually so small you can't see with the naked eye, but the gluing and coloring technique still holds true. It's still amazing to me when you take a picture how the picture can really get blown up to see all the issues that can't be seen...
