A daily updated blog typed by someone with painty hands, oil under his fingernails and the smell of solder in his nostrils who likes making all sort of models and miniatures. And fixing things.

Detail and prime
Just a few little details to add now, mainly door hinges made from lengths of micro-rod fitted with superglue. The gap-filling properties of this bed them into the body to remove the "just stuck on" look.
After this, the motor, wheel and rods are masked with a mix of tape and kitchen foil. The latter is easy to poke around the lump inside the model. I'm not sure it matters if the PCB gets painty but I certainly want to keep it off the moving parts including the motor and I can't take the model to bits anymore.
Primer is Halford U-Pol etching. Readily available and cheap enough if you don't need gallons of the stuff. My can has done well over 20 models and there's still plenty left.
