    • @hobcen
      @hobcen 3 дня назад

      Rapid thinner is best for achieving flatter finishes. Adding Mr Retarder might bring it back to being similar to regular Mr color thinner? Experiment with various mixes on something you don't care about before going to your current project.

    Can you lubricate the launch guide so the rocket slides off of it better when it launches?

    • @hobcen
      @hobcen 23 дня назад

      Baby powder is a wonderful dry lubricant for parachutes, nosecones and anything that needs to glide smoothly. Try some of that. If your rocket is still having issues, consider installing bigger launch lugs. They can be made by plastic drinking straws, plastuct and other brands of plastic tubing.

    I have heard in more than a few places that 'Deluxe' isn't actually *meant* to be used as an adhesive (despite it saying as much on the bottle), but more as a (small) gap filler. My own experience seems to back this up, as (not knowing that) I've used it on a lot of custom additions to Gunpla kits, and even months later the added parts (also polystyrene, same as the kits. not the ABS plastic they use for some parts) just fall right off with barely any force. S, while having an almost non-existant working time, actually holds... in most cases. SPB would be neat to use, as I don't do many straight builds. But nobody around here carries it.

      @@hobcen Hey Bill, I think they look good, camera technology has changed since I was in the game.Depth of focus (DOF} and " f " stop = lighting through the lens. On a digital movie camera, like Go Pro, it may be trying to auto focus on a revolving field of view which may briefly be affecting the focal point. You could try turning off auto focus to experiment if the camera has that function. Plus the models vary in size, but you can't help that. However I think your fine no complaints on this end. Cheers Bob
