SPA Modeler

Finally some progress. After a few putty sanding cycles I sprayed primer. I used a Infiny sanding sponge set to get everything nice and smooth.

I used mr Surfacer 1200 with some extra Tamiya white added as primer. I choose not to use a black base because that desaturates the colours whilst this should be bright blue.

Coming along nicely! Looks great.

Nice!

Good to see this project back Remco!

Also, quite extraordinary but clearly a very functional jig !

That jig is very easy to make. Just a few toothpicks (or cocktail sticks) and styrofoam. The sticks are splayed outward and the tension that causes fixates the model.

After primer I sanded the model to make it smooth. Nevertheless the layer of blue is not as smooth as I wanted. Also, depending on the light used it is a bit translucent/uneven. So I think I will lay down another layer.

That sure is blue! That is such a striking model and color.

It looks great!
