Top work as always Neo. Now I used to do weld seams in the same way. However I found the stuff would not stay stuck to the surface and would come off when I made the seam detail or when it had set and it just fell off. Do you have this problem?. I used to use milliput.

Hello, Steve! Unfortunately I didn't use Milliput ever. I don't know if it has the same properties as Tamiya Putty. I know this problem. I have it while working with Tamiya epoxy. Usually I connect two parts of epoxy and then give it some time (5-10 minutes). Only then I put it on the surface.
I let it dry a little (5-7 minutes) and it doesn't get so sticky.

You mean: “Fortunately I didn't use Milliput ever.” Seriously, almost any other brand of epoxy putty is easier to use than Milliput, in my experience.

All epoxy putties I know harden in two stages: after you mix it, it sticks to everything, then it stays soft but doesn’t stick anymore, and then sets hard. One of the mains differences between different makes is how long it takes to go through those steps.

Hi Neo
Great added details.

Very nice. So much extra detail so early in the build. The stuff great models are made of.

It is quite hard to get Milliput for me. So after your words I think I am lucky twice :smiling5:

I agree with you. All depends on time.

Hello Colin and thank you! Unfortunately it is not even a half work.

Some top notch work Neo. Do you drill or punch your holes in the copper? PaulE.

Thank you! I have drilled it. Making holes by punching gives me not very good results.

Some fresh information. Welding is very boring process. I have started it. It seems to me I will need all next week to complete this work. Or maybe more.
By the way. Good modeller from Armorama has mentioned that model hull has diffirent angles and forms . You can see it on comparasion photos.
