Epoxies for assembling models?
I searched and found not very much other than 'some epoxies damage plastic." I've got the new StarCraft Valdore and want something better than CA to glue the main wings. They're too thin to pin. I looked at 2 part epoxies at the hobby shop today but not sure what to use or how to use it. Is it ...

Oh, now you've done it. :wink: Take a look at these links below, especially the last showing the docked ships. There's a deck of boxes, etc. on the top of the centrifuge modules. Over them is an open grid/rack structure. That's not shown on the cover of the book you posted, which I have, too. IMO, t...

Spart Parts Trees for open hardware racks?
Anybody got any 1x2-inch parts trees laying around? There's a tubular framework around the equipment at the ends of the rotating modules on the Leonov from 2010. That's my best idea for replicating them. Anybody know of anything else like that with maybe 1/32 dia tubing? It's very open so mesh scree...

How to cure paint that won't dry?
I have 3 of the same 3D printed model. I've repainted 2 of them at least 3 times because the paint won't dry in 2 areas - same place on both models. I've been using Floquil enamels. This last time I stripped both models down to the base material and repainted with Gunze spray primer and they seemed ...

OK, I've got 33 feet of blue 28 gauge wire coming my way. That should be enough for an invasion fleet. If I did the math right, that's 0.012 At the store, 0.014 Inch looked usable, so I think I'm good. Thought for a while that I was going to buy a 10-roll assortment. so we'll see how this works out....

Thanks. Yep, that looks usable, other than concern about how well paint might stick. I went by Wally World. They have some nice colored craft wire that's way too thick. They also have what's called 'beading wire' in .014 diameter that's perfect but the choices are silver or gold. Probably to be as s...

Yep, wire would be perfect and I think I've seen it before and didn't really think of the possibilities. But, specifically, I need it for a very small Vulcan ringship, so it really has to be about the thickness of invisible thread. I think that will be hard to find. As I sit here and think, it might...

luminescent craft thread?
I made that up. Has anyone seen/do you know of anyone who makes thread, preferably the diameter of 'invisible thread' with the color/sheen of the shiny mylar craft/gift ribbon? Or the brilliant metallic colored glitter in craft stores. Only I need it as a fine thread. Thanks.

Thanks for the ideas. All the models were 3D. All had a pretty thick solidified coat of Gunze Mr. Resin Primer/Surfacer. I've painted a bunch of 3D models at this point. I've primed most of them and had only minor adherence issues. Does anyone know of any reaction caused by the use of mineral spirit...

Why won't my paint dry and how can I fix it?
One of five or six models I painted yesterday won't dry. In fact, I airbrushed 4 models with the same batch of mixed paint. One of them hasn't dried after setting for a full night. The others dried within minutes. I was painting with Floquil enamel thinned with Floquil thinner. My suspicion is that,...

Is this the equivalent of primer surfacer products?
