In the first of this two-part video, Jack Lynch walks us through the ins and outs of photoetch. What is it? How does it work? How do you apply it? What tools do you need? Come learn with us! www.megahobby.com/
He makes this far more complicated and daunting than it really is. Don't be put off....just get in there and do it and get the supplies as you find you need them. You'll find that you probably already have some form of most of them already. Those machining tools can be had at Harbor freight but very expensive for how long you'll use them.
Thanks for the very informative and in depth series on PE and Resin parts, I've never used either before, but with these two videos have the confidence to give it a shot...I'm also just getting back into modelling after a hiatus of roughly 20 years, and am kicking off with the 1/350 Tamiya USS Enterprise, of which I've purchased the Eduard PE kits and some Veteran Models launchers, so stepping into the deep end straight away. Plenty of aircraft and deck equipment kits to purchase yet...but future purchases. Cheers from Sydney Aus!!!!
UStar 2 in 1 vise on Aliexpress has a full modeling vise with a small etch bender for $35 when cheaspest i could find a similar small bender was $25. Was gonna buy american but The Small Shop retired
I was wondering, on my resistance x-wing model, the tab on the edge of the left wing wasn’t big enough when they made it. Do you know how I could fix that?
I have a question! My Photo etch Cockpit came with a clear Film Sheet but No instructions on how to apply IT ! Could you Help me Out ? This IS my First Photo etch Kit ! I will send a Pic AS soon as I can Figure Out how 😂 Sorry , i was talking about the clear Acetate Sheet that comes with the Photo etch. Do I Cut IT Out with scissors, or how do I remover IT ????
