"Modeling Tutorial: Fixing the Heavy Destroyer Cannon" Topic

"Back in my day, straightening bent weapons on metal models was easy. These days, newfangled styrene plastic model kits don't need any straightening at all. But in those dark times between metal and plastic, we were treated to formerly metal parts being cast in resin. And if a resin component was warped, straightening it could be quite a chore. Case in point: The Necron Heavy Destroyer's cannon. Here's a tutorial for fixing it without worrying about straightening the resin itself…."

Wow, he replaced the pieces instead of just gently heating and bending? Are we sure that's easier?

Skillfully done, but I think I would have tried heat.

It's a more permanent solution that's worth the trouble because Finecast resin will warp again even after you straighten them with heat. Replacing resin with styrene plastic solves the problem.

Glad you enjoyed it my friend!.

Nice tutorial.

Okay not that I'm a customer for that stuff (on a normal day), but I wasn't aware that Finecast did that!
