Model Mania #40 - Launch Tower & Space Shuttle Part 2

[@Razorusskie]

Building this kit too right now. Don’t think I’d ever get that elevator shaft put together without your video!

[@BuckmansModelMania]

That's part of why I do videos...to help other in the community with techniques I've figured out. I'll warn you...getting the elevator shaft into the floors can be tricky...I would wait to do it until you are inserting it permanently...

[@Razorusskie]

@@BuckmansModelMania Right. And I’ve already started sanding the openings in the floors for it.

[@DonnieDaugherty]

Great video Buck. That thing is going to be massive when you get done!

[@BuckmansModelMania]

Thanks Donnie. You are right...it is huge!

I use 123 machine blocks for square up to a 90 it makes thinks dead on 90. I know this built awhile back but I thought I pass it along enjoying watching the build

[@schuhmansmodelshop8657]

Great video. Have you thought about doing a dry brushing of the deck plating to give a used look?

[@BuckmansModelMania]

I haven't yet...but what I will probably do is use either the Tamiya weathering kits or chalk.. I might not weather it at all...not sure yet.

Run the LED strip at 9V and that will dim them and save you a lot of time.

[@BuckmansModelMania]

I plan to run it at 9V with the 470 ohm resistor otherwise it is just to bright and unrealistic to the scale. Thanks for the suggesstion
