Not to much progress has been made in the past few days since we last talked, the putty I'm using is Squadron brand and it takes a while before solid enough for sanding.
You can get two different types of putty from squadron, white and green. They have a few differences between the two.
I pulled this from a thread over at scale model magazine's forums; and here are the attributes for both:
Go here to see original thread; It will open in a new window.
GREEN PUTTY:
-Best for darker colored paintchemes
-Has a grittier surface than the other.
-Less brittle than white putty
WHITE PUTTY:
-Finer Gritt
-Easier to work with, sanding, filing, ect.
-A bit on the brittle side.
-Better for lighter colorschemes as it doesn't darken or lighten the shade of paint
SIMULARITIES:
-Both melt plastic if to much is used at a time
-Both fill gaps
-Same price; in USD it costs around $4.00 a tube
-Both claim to last a while
Go to the original forum post:
And here is a bad picture of the gauss rifles, I got the air bubbles filled in and I still have to do a lot of filing to get the surfaces completely smooth, but all in all the build is coming together nicely.
So what will we be discussing in the next update? Well, to answer simply without giving to much away we will be talking about different tools, everything from hobby knife to resin to ruler, as well as hopefully have both gauss rifles mounted.
I think that about does it for this update, see you all on Friday. Have a nice day.
