Finished Styrene Channel for Ankle

Today I finished working on the styrene channel for the outer ankles that I started yesterday.

Step one was to trim off the excess styrene with a razor blade.




There was a small void in each corner of the slot.



I cut small pieces of styrene and glued them on the underside to cover up the small holes.



All better!



Next, I slathered good ol' Evercoat into the edge of the slot where it meets the styrene.



After it dried, I sanded it smooth.



And finally a mist coat of primer to check out the results.



It came out pretty well, I may not have to do any additional filling. I will apply some more primer, sand and hopefully call the curved part of the ankle done.

Victor, If the dictionary had the phrase 'Scratch Build' in it, there would be a picture of you right next to it! Sterling work as ever.
