Savvy - fitting the PE its easy , and painless. The effect You get with one of them sets its realy realy good. For one You end up with more accurate holes /shape and size /, and for two , it takes away the pain of thinning - as the only thinning its done on the edges of the part. Roughly 1 mm of overlap is enough to safely secure the part with glue.
What i do is i mark where the part supose to go on the model , than i cut away all the inside with the dremel to about 1mm from the edge. Than delicate scraping of the edge with the craft knife to the thikness of the PE.
Slow setting CA glue , filler , sanding , filler , sanding -done.
I always said this project is going to take months to complete , and im happy with it. Instead of making few average models i just decided ill try to make one , but one i can look at with pride.
BTW: ive been playing with the blogs this morning and created this:
