@johnlyons get your self one of the scholl nail filers i had at the hobby boot camp, much quiter than the rotary tool, and is half price in boots at the moment 😉 and is a beast for tearing through flash and gates Also you may want to try some flory or UMP sanding sticks until i tried them i wa svery much an emery board guy, but they really do make a huge difference, especially the skinny wet and dry ones, as if you use them wet it will help keep the dust to a minimum, more of a… Read more »
Some seriously interesting tips there. Might just have to look into a few of these doodas as I work on a lotta resin.
Same here. Working with a lot of resin is still a fairly new thing to me so I’ve always relied on the older, more basic ways of cleaning and prepping.
@biggrim the nail filer im on about is this: http://www.boots.com/scholl-velvet-smooth-nail-care-system-10199801 might be cheaper on amazon, the course head rips through gates and large chunks and flash, the buffers are great for getting rid of mold lines, and is excellent on large flat surfaces like tank hulls as well as on curved surfaces, as long as you can get a 1/6th of your pinky nail onto the detail the head will fit. One other thing i use it for is to mix paint, get an elastic band and use it to attach the paint pot to the head, turn on and… Read more »
You should invest in the diamond edged cutting tool for the Dremel. Works really well
I looked at the pic on this article and thought John had produced an audition vid for the part of Bane in the next Batman movie. Now that really would have been typecasting!
Recommend using the clippers to cut more of the sprue off before you start sanding. Will save you some time in the future.
Quite so 🙂 The rest of the parts I clipped down then sanded 🙂 And the big ones on the tracks section I demolished with the rotary tool.
Nice
I find cutting the waste in stages you get a neater cut so you can get go tighter to the face so less sanding.
John, when you closed most of your hand around that piece and clipped it I was cringing.
Once upon a time, I clipped a chunk out of my hand not realizing that I had closed the inside bottom of my finger to protrude into the jaws of the clipper.
Boy did that sting, and bleed!
We’ve all been there. I like to live on the edge 😉
Resin can be nasty. Always wear a respirator, kids, when cutting, sanding or breaking resin!
for the massive sprue gates, or the finer more delicate pieces I do them after I’ve cleaned them in hot water. It makes the resin more elastic so you won’t get brittle fractures snapping small detailed pieces and for the larger chunks you don’t need as much force to get through them
