Congratulations!

Nice work!

I have to caution against using CA with baking soda (bicarb) as a gap filler. Many years ago I customized a 1940 Ford model, using CA and baking soda for all the bodywork. Now, those areas have dark oily-looking stains, and the filler has deteriorated. Best IMHO to use a two-part epoxy putty (Millip...

Impressive! I especially like the photoetched fire escape. And your Superman conversion!

The color posters for the movie show a green outfit (or at least green on the highlighted areas)--and I think green's the best color. But I'd paint her thighs as though she were wearing tights or dark pantyhose.

When we had our bathroom remodelled, we ended up with a mysterious leak. The workman came out again, and found that the drywall guy had put a screw into one of the new pipes!

Let's see: 10" model size, 600" real size. 600/10 = 60, so the kit is 1/60 scale. Saw something on the Monsters in Motion newsletter that might be of interest to you! :mrgreen: Link: https://www.monstersinmotion.com/cart/item-list-pt-c-2_203/rocketeer-and-dog-112-scale-figure-by-executive...

...But I'm here to ask a couple specific questions: 1. Do you permanently attach your finished models to your finished display bases? Usually, yes.
