[@ArmourEmpire]

Some good tips Alex. Photo etch can be so fiddly and frustrating. Many hours spent shouting at my models trying to glue pe in place :)

[@AlexModeling]

dont we all? :D yeah mate... i was just working on the kit and thought... why not? and this here on this video its not the worst part... the kit has PE parts smaller than 1 mm... :)

[@amazonamazon4872]

1st i must say youre very talented ive been enjoying watching you videos, second, should i not use kristal klear on the gauges?

[@stephenbeckett6362]

Very good video, well done. I do have a question about the glass instrument panel, some modeler's use Micro Kristal klear, is this a better idear

[@AlexModeling]

Both are good! I use it from time to time also

[@michaelhochman95]

Alternate device for picking up small parts is a china marker, also called a wax pencil. You can carve the tip to any shape including a point or wedge. Inexpensive, and you don't waste your blue tack and tooth pick.

[@usimionato]

I have that pencil, but I don't think it is strong as the blue tack. Keeps breaking and leaves white marks.

[@AlexModeling]

+Ulisses Simionato I used that same pencil... gave it away... i know its a proper tool for PE but as you said... sometimed the pieces turned white

[@TomGrigat]

Hi Alex, thank your for this very useful advisory video. Did you ever tried to use a sewing needle with opened eye for applying the super glue? In combination with a very thin type of glue it's a very precisely tool for glueing the PE-Parts. The capillary action takes place and allows you to glue parts placed close together. Thank you for sharing your video ;-)

[@AlexModeling]

Hello my friend!!:) i saw one of those classic 90s videos were a mig 29 was being assembled and the modeler used exactly that... i have to get one even for filling gaps... thank you so much dor commenting and for your advice... i will get one of those:)

[@Ducesweden]

I have a dremel at home, and i wish it was just three modes on it. I have a gauge showing the rpm's on it, and it goes somewhere from 3000 rpm to 10.000 rpm. It was really hard when i drilled out holes in balsa wood with it, even at 3000 rpm the wood would start to burn if i held it still for too long, so i had to be really quick.

[@AlexModeling]

+Ducesweden unfortunatly that sometimes happends with other dremmels

[@Ducesweden]

I basicley only use mine if i need to cut something big away, it's out in the garage and it has gone dusty as shit already. :D

[@AlexModeling]

Ducesweden :)

[@Dragonblaster1]

"Graver" means "engrave", "Couper" means "cut", "Percer" means "pierce" and "Meuler" means "sharpen".

[@fubarmodelyard1392]

kinda hard watching you eliminate those wonderful details but the end result makes it worthwhile. I really didn't hear the noise but then I'm sitting in my truck at a truckstop. does your neighbor export his wine here? if so I'll look for it

[@AlexModeling]

hy Benny... its for private consumption! and what a Red whine!!

[@fubarmodelyard1392]

+AlexModeling dang

[@ruez]

Hello Alex, your tile is too heavy for handing. Check out The Small Shop cut-off set! It's great for you.

[@johnrubright2495]

I gotta tell ya, Alex I wish I could speak Portuguese as well you communicat in English.Thanks

[@galindoa1972]

Oh Alex, the agony of seeing you sanding away all that detail on the instrument panel! If I may make a suggestion, next time you do this try doing a duplicate plate of the instrument panel with some sheet styrene and then glue the photoetch on it instead of ruining a perfect instrument panel that you could use on a different project.

[@AlexModeling]

i have 2 already my friend:) Molded on resin:) eheheh

[@usimionato]

Resin copy tutorial?

[@AlexModeling]

+Ulisses Simionato it wasn t me who did it... a fruend of mine... but envolves lego pieces and clay to dip the piece and the placung the liquid resin on the mold... i can try and learn and then do a tutorial... muito bem lembrado amigo
