This an old thread but I thought I'd add a thought or two. Paul, I agree with your comments regarding the different ways to reach the goal. Perfect Zimmerit.
I wold like to add one comment and one possibly different technique. First, any of the methods that require putty or a bonding agent should be carefully masked at the edges. Cleanup is much easier because the putty or epoxy is hard to deal with and save details.
Secondly, softening plastic with a solvent and then raking or stamping the part could be part of your tool kit.
Curved parts like mantles and German vision ports are easier to manage this way.
Regards,
Tom |
