Help fo newbe
« on: 20 December 2011, 04:29:15 »
Hi

I'm soon to start making the Murineag This is my first time using printed Styrene, should I be cutting to the outside edge of the black lines or the inside edge?

Thanks

i am the same as Tommy...

always cut outside the lines, as its easier to sand down, rather than try and add to a part that has been cut to small...

basically i cut the parts roughly out and trial fit them, either trim here and there and trial fit them again, once happy glue in place.... a sharp edge can always be achieved by sanding    ^^^
