Chapter 8 - A Little Nip and Tuck
1. & 2. The Tristar resin kit comes with the rear cover part, (dark gray) with holes where the engine compartment access doors open. This requires you to cut the back portion off of the plastic superstructure. Inside, a rim that extended down into the fighting compartment for the turret to be held in place,(dotted line) was cut off and the notches provided to key the turret mount,(arrows) were filled in with two part putty, (inset).
3. & 4. Here I have glued strips of stretched plastic sprue with Testors liquid cement to the forward portion of the superstructure for the beginning of a weld bead effect. This is allowed to dry and then the strips are coated again with Testors liquid glue to soften the plastic after which the strip is cut along the strip in tiny encrements. This is repeated several times until ther desired effect is acheived.
5. & 6. Some veiws of the final result. |
