      Ha, that’s not small... Imagine it in 1:144 scale! That’s what I did on the Type VIIC U-Boot. Drove me insane and killed my mojo for the build. But I will revisit that kit in 2022

    Great work mate. I love the tea candle use for CA glue. That is a great trick for ease of use without hunting for caps each time. Getting ready for a 350th Revell Bismarck build, and these tips help a lot!

      I’ve had Gout for over a decade... all you do is avoid food that is acidic, and try to eat alkaline. When you are not in a danger zone, ie blood sugar levels not too high and your uric acid is down, you can eat a little of anything. I can now feel when my acid levels are high and watch what I eat.
      Try getting some unsweetened Cherry Juice. I start each day with a glass. Cherries have a natural enzyme which removes the uric acid. Believe me. It’s a fast relief, with magnesium and low fat cheese. Removes the acid before you get an attack, or can reduce the symptoms of an attack. If you want my “good - neutral - bad” list I would be happy to send to you.

    Harry do you ever solder when working with PE if so what factors determine when you will or won't solder the parts? I have this kit also and got about 80% completed before I lost the MOJO as my copy has very soft molded details and the plastic is typical Revell plastic being too soft for my preference. Its really a shame the kit is really good I think if they had used a harder plastic like what Monogram used the end result would be far superior. After watching your build I just might be pulling mine back out and finally finishing it after 5 yrs sitting on the shelf of doom. Looking forward to the next video cheers!

    • @HarryHoudiniModels
      @HarryHoudiniModels  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Honestly if the part is that big that it needs soldering, I make it out of plastic. Photo etch for me, is just for the small details, or accuracy corrections, where plastic can’t be moulded that fine.

      If the candle base gets too full up with drops of CA I light it, preferably outside, and whoosh the CA burns up.

    Confused do you use the wax to attach?

    • @HarryHoudiniModels
      @HarryHoudiniModels  3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      No. The wax slows the CA glue from drying, giving me more time to use it on the photo etch. I keep a drop of CA on the wax candle. Lasts for up to an hour.
