May I suggest you do a review of this tool here: https://modelshipworld.com/forum/69-reviews-model-shipwrighting-tools-parts-and-fittings/ Done Brother, It's definitely worth a look see... 2 hours ago, realworkingsailor said: I agree! I’m curious how it’s cleaned, since as a hobbyist, one can tend to bounce from colour to colour frequently (also seeing as most hobby jobs use less than an ounce of paint at a time). Andy Thank's Andy, I would just run a bit of clear thinner through the adapter like you would an airbrush until it runs clear... Their website offers extra 3oz bottles with screw on lids so having multiple colors on hand would be easy to set up...

FriedClams Posted August 8, 2022 Share #422 Posted August 8, 2022 Hello EG - I've been away for a bit and just catching up. Great progress on this model and it's looking beautiful. Your "Rub & Buff" results look fantastic and worth all the time you spend nailing down the technique. And thanks for heads-up on the HD Preval sprayer - interesting.

Egilman Posted August 8, 2022 Author Share #423 Posted August 8, 2022 Thanks Gary... It's appreciated.. And My Pleasure, it worked for my application and should work for many others...

Egilman Posted August 8, 2022 Author Share #424 Posted August 8, 2022 Update... Yes the painting with the heavy masking left a ridge that needed to be knocked down before finishing... Hard to see but you can really feel it, it would show badly when shined up and decaled... Knocking it down requires the use of a medium grade thin sanding stick... 320 grit... And of course no matter how careful you are your going to break down the RnB finish as well... so before we can hard shell with future, we need to retouch the RnB finish... That looks good.. one of the great things with Rub N Buff is retouches are easy a slight skuff and a pointed q-tip is all it takes... Next up Decaling.... Onwards...

Danstream Posted August 8, 2022 Share #425 Posted August 8, 2022 Unless the numbering system for sandpaper is different across the pond, I fear that 320 grit might be way too coarse. I wouldn't go any less that at least 600 and using it wet. Maybe you have different experience, but you can make some tries before committing the obtained result.

Kind regards, Dan Very good point Dan Thank You... I'm using what I had and being a compound curved surface a stick that could be manipulated on the bias was the best technique I thought of as it would leave a lot less disturbance of the surrounding surfaces than a sheet would... 320 is the smallest grit I have in stick form... It didn't take much to knock the ridge down, just a few passes with no pressure at all.... 600 would have been better 3200 even better yet, but find me a narrow stick sander in 600 much less 3200... {chuckle} We are stuck using the tools we have on hand... What it really shows is how thin the RnB actually is, only a mil or two...

Your wish is my command sir ! 😄 Sanding sticks/pads. Or SANDING-WAND-SET I have the sanding twig set and the sanding wand set plus a set of flexible approx 1 inch square rubber sanding pad of grits from 3200 to 12000.

Egilman Posted August 8, 2022 Author Share #428 Posted August 8, 2022 (edited) Thanks Jack... From those links I found what I should have... https://www.micromark.com/Dual-Angle-Sanding-File-Set-Multiple-Grits-Set-of-9 from 60 to 12000 grit, perfect for the application.... Didn't even know they made such a critter, I already have the buffing pads, (3200 - 12000 Hobby Lobby) but they are too wide, good for flat surfaces, but next to impossible to control where your buffing on a compound curve... That's why I didn't use them... Right tool for the job ands all that.... Thank you, filed in the learn something new every day section...

There were a lot of those technical decals, still some to go all down the right side...

Egilman Posted August 15, 2022 Author Share #448 Posted August 15, 2022 Thank you Brothers.... Just want you all to know how much your support is appreciated... I went out and took a few more shots of the left side... Outside, since the Lord has graced us with beautiful sunny skies today.... I Never pass up the opportunity to enjoy such gifts... Here they are.... It never ceases to amaze me at how much better models look in direct sunlight.... Trying to figure out an appropriate backdrop for when I get her finished, I want her sitting in a semi-realistic setting... before I call her done... Anyway... Onwards...

mtaylor Posted August 15, 2022 Share #450 Posted August 15, 2022 Keep on trucking, EG. We're all pulling for you. I really think that our hobbies and friends is what keeps us sane and helps us fight the RL problems.
