Scale Modeling the 1/350 Scale Star Trek Refit Enterprise Model Part 1

Ok. I saw this on Youtube by facemodels and thought of posting this for all Science fiction and Star Trek fans. This video is about building the 1/350 Star Trek Refit Enterprise Model. This is part 1.

This scale model kit is manufactured by Polar Lights.

Thinner For Scale Modeling

It has been a while since i last posted something related to paint. So today, i like to write something about thinners for thinning enamels and paint.

For enamel paint, you will need thinners like the one shown in my photograph above. It is always good to use the same brand of thinners together with the paint. For example, you should use Humbrol thinners for Humbrol paints. There may be other compatible thinners, but you may run the risk of unpredicted situation if you use the wrong type.

To avoid any problems, always use the same brand of thinners and paints together. This will ensure that the paints will thin and mix well. Always remember that inferior thinners may impair your scale modeling result. So, get a good and compatible brand.

Thinners are also excellent for cleaning brushes and removing dirt and oil from painted parts. Use it sparingly though, pour a small amount of thinner into another container and use it for cleaning purposes. I normally reuse and dispose off it when it gets really dirty.

Thinners are flammable and strong-smelling. Do not forget to work in a well-ventilated and cool area when you are using thinners during the building of your scale model. No fire sources should be near your work area. Work safely.

That's about all for now. Happy scale modeling.
