Minuteman Posted March 5, 2013 Report Posted March 5, 2013 Hello fellow troopers! A corellian spices and arms smuggler provided me with a hyperfirm E-11. It looks great and I love weight and the possibility to give it to kids, but it is a B-grade. Look here: Has anyone suggestions on how to remove the "B" and the other scratches? I thought about using some kind of latex glue to maintain the flexibility, but maybe somebody has a better idea. Thank you guys! Quote

TK172 Posted March 12, 2013 Report Posted March 12, 2013 I have actually used hot glue with problems such as this and have had success. Just filled in and sanded, such as you have done already...something to keep in mind for a next time. Quote
James[501st] Posted March 12, 2013 Report Posted March 12, 2013 sand the area , fill with e-6000. let dry. sand to finish desired clean with water and a little vinegar mix some acrylic paint into latex rubber and brush on with a sponge seal with matte acrylic sealer Where does one obtain the latex rubber to mix with the paint? I have a DLT-19 I would like to touch up (want to take some of the mold seams off and smooth them out) using the instructions above. Also want to add some additional dry-brush highlights. Would I just use an acrylic silver for that and then seal with the matte acrylic sealer? Thanks! Quote
TK O.K. Posted March 14, 2013 Report Posted March 14, 2013 My friends say I'm odd for liking the weight of a Master Replica all day. It feels like the real deal to me. But I think your hyperfirm has changed my mind. Nice work! Thanks for the cool posting! Quote
