  Pretty cool, I didn't know such things as micro solder balls were a thing. I've done larger models by drilling holes and filling with styrene rod, clipping slightly above the surface then lightly sanding the nubs.

  When I was a kid in the 70's we peeled the foil from Wrigley's Spearmint Gum wrappers and stuck it on everything. I wonder if those wrappers are still made the same way

  Just got the solder balls in today. OMFG the .2 balls look like dust. The .25 you can almost see them and the .35 can be seen ok. I may hae to go larger than .35 for 1/35 scale rivets. VMS aggregate fixer may work well for this.

  I'm just curious. How do you get the candy foil to stick to the canopy? I'm guessing I missed that part. Also, Hersheys kisses have a thin foil as well.

• 
  @TheEmptySprue Жыл бұрын

  This particular chocolate uses what I'm guessing is a food grade wax to adhere the foil to the plastic wrapper (Hershey kisses dont have a plastic wrapper, therefore no wax adhesive) This waxy side is the side that sticks to the canopy. To remove the foil easily, hold it up to a warm light for 15 seconds or so.

  Hi there, I'm late to this party however I thought I'd offer some advice or suggestions'. The hair mousse for adhering the "rivets" seems to work great, have you tried using a rhinestone picker/wax pen to pick up and place the solder balls? I can see that the method you use would seem faster for placing lots of rivets at a time though. I have used solder balls to place detailed eyes in miniature figures for a while, and a wax pen lets me accurately pop them in place easily 😉

• 
  @TheEmptySprue Жыл бұрын

  I'd think the solder balls are way too small for a rhinestone holder tool. It's really very simple to pick them up with a wet brush, then manuever them into place with the same brush.

  I finally got ahold of some .2 MM balls and tried using regular hair spray because that liquid Mousse is expensive online and I couldn't locate a store that sold it locally. Hairspray didn't hold the rivets securely at all. They would brush right off even after a coat of paint. Then I thought of trying to use Future as a fixer. Future worked really well in a small test. The best thing about using the Future was that after a coat of paint the rivets did not pull up after putting a piece of Tamiya tape over it. This technique works! Thanks for sharing.

  I've just learned that you need a semi-gloss or gloss coat to add a clean panel line wash (like you say). My first attempts were done with no clear coat at all and I end up scuffing off paint and it absorbs into the paint. I then got an ultra matte varnish so I wouldn't scuff paint off and had some of the same problems --- mostly the wash seeping into the paint. My next model I will try a proper gloss coat to get a clean panel line wash application.

• 
  @TheEmptySprue4 ай бұрын

  the model in the video had no semi gloss or gloss coat on it at any time. The idea is to apply the panel line wash in a controlled manner as opposed to the popular method of flooding the entire model then wiping off the excess. The technique in the video is intentionally not that

  Finally someone comes up with a way of creating raised rivets. The recessed kind just don't look real. But I need some clarification, you only use the mousse as your glue? And this actually holds the solder balls in place? Or you paint over the solder balls and moose and that's the final step? Anyway, thanks for a great technique!

•

  The mousse is the primary bonding agent. I assume the added primer and paint adds to the bond. I've not yet tested how durable the bond is, but I've yet to have any fall of yet.

  And here's another tip, if you use photo etch, some of the pieces can be tiny, each one of those bristles you cut off can be glued to the end of a toothpick and used as a superglue/CA applicator, it will deliver MINISCULE amounts of glue to exactly the right spot!
