No school!

So I don't have school for the next 2 weeks,
that means more time for gunpla :D


Started on the dio for my Dom

(sorry for the bad pic, can't find my camera...)


Some bad news tho: there seems to be something wrong with my compressor...
Air comes out in pulses and I spray blobs of water instead of an even coating :(
Anyone know what's wrong?

Quick update

Hi folks :D
Haven't had much time to do gunpla because I have exams...
But last one is on tuesday,  so you can expect a few updates next week :)

But the reason for this quick post is that i finally got a replacement nozzle for my airbrush!!! :D
Let's hope this one lasts longer than the first one xD

How to make rivets

Since I'm making a lot of these for my build I decided to write a little tutorial on how to make these little things.

  • Requirements




1:  Lighter, can also be one of those lighters you light sigarets with, but I couldn't find another one.

2:  Aluminium plate, or something else that doesn't melt when heated

3: Knife

4: Electric drill

5: Piece of sprue

  • What to do?


First take your electrical drill and drill a hole in your aluminium plate (this hole will have the same diameter as your rivet)



Second, take your piece of sprue and heat it with your lighter.



Then, when your sprue starts to melt, push it through the hole you made in your aluminium plate.



The other side should look something like this:



(It isn't that visible in the pic, but if you look really hard you can see the rivet sticking out of the hole.)

Wait for the plastic to cool down and pull your sprue out.



Next step, take your knife and cut off the little rivet.



Last, collect them in some kind of container.



After a while you'll get enough to actually do something with those lilttle things.

I hope this has been some usefull information to some people :)
