Kurt Johnson Posted March 12, 2019 Share #635 Posted March 12, 2019 Amalio, I love the subtlety and softness of the painting of the figure head, it's just perfect. Often they look like a piece of candy. You are an amazing artist.

VACorsair Posted April 1, 2019 Share #645 Posted April 1, 2019 OK. I have come to the conclusion that Amalio isn't building this model himself at all. I believe that there are 1 inch tall boat-wrights that build this model in the middle of the night. I'm sure that I see there tiny foot prints in the sanding dust. That's what it has to be!! No one can work that precise in that scale!!! druxey, mtaylor, FriedClams and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michael mott Posted April 1, 2019 Share #648 Posted April 1, 2019 Finally I see that he is human did you all see the blobs of glue. Phew! and sanding dust too. now my question is how do you clean up the glue with the clamps in the way, or do you do that later? As always superb model making.

Amalio Posted April 2, 2019 Author Share #649 Posted April 2, 2019 Good morning. I use a lot to remove the tail, these circular brushes from Dremel. When two hours have passed after having glued. There are corners where it does not arrive and you have to take it into account so that it does not overflow in those places. It is necessary to put the machine at the lowest possible speed so as not to burn the nylon of the brush.

All the while he's operating with those 8 arms Am I understanding you Amalio that you remove the dried glue with the nylon brushes turning very slowly? I've never heard of removing PVA glue that way and I've been using it for too many years.

Amalio Posted April 3, 2019 Author Share #651 Posted April 3, 2019 The minimum speed of my Dremel is 10,000 rpm, which is already a lot. Obormotov, BETAQDAVE and mtaylor 3 Quote AMALIO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
druxey Posted April 3, 2019 Share #652 Posted April 3, 2019 Amalio: isn't it easier to clean up PVA glue squeeze-out with a damp (or wet) brush before it dries? That's been my practice for years. mtaylor and Obormotov 2 Quote Be sure to sign up for an epic Nelson/Trafalgar project if you would like to see it made into a TV series http://trafalgar.tv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amalio Posted April 3, 2019 Author Share #653 Posted April 3, 2019 If you can, I prefer to do it that way because if you do it with wet tail, it always stains the neck. I find it very comfortable and with a good result. Thank you. BETAQDAVE, Obormotov, cog and 1 other 4 Quote AMALIO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Y Posted April 3, 2019 Share #654 Posted April 3, 2019 (edited) I use the same method as Amalio, same nylon brushes (discovered it by accident), and it works great! Especially on half-dried glue. It is just much faster and simpler than water. But water works better in tight areas, for sure. Especially water plus scraping with some xacto blade.

cog Posted April 3, 2019 Share #655 Posted April 3, 2019 But wouldn't you run the risk of making markings on the wood with the exacto blade, which you cannot see with Amalio's method ... mtaylor and Obormotov 2 Quote Carl "Desperate affairs require desperate measures."
