Finishing strips

Recommended Posts

So I’m building ANH armor and I’ve noticed that a lot of the pieces were deformed and it was near impossible to get them to butt up cleanly. Upon glueing the strips have some space in one side and they aren’t flush at all but they are definitely together. Is this a concern for approval? I’m only going for level 1 so basically bare bones basic approval.

You need to use some force with some pieces, I use a combination of clamps, magnets and masking tape. Once you have one side glued and is held solid apply to your other side, push down so the sides bulge a bit then wrap a good amount of tape around, when you relax the pressure the tape should still keep the cover strip held down.

 

Some use strips of wood or metal to help hold down the center sections and clamp both ends.

This doesn't really fall under "forum support" so I will move the thread to the ANH build area  ;)
