Sr props e 11

[darthgarth]

I have an unbuilt sr props kit, do I build it or keep it for posterity, your opinions please, bear in mind that Stephane stopped building kits 4 yrs ago due to his......changing views on life.

BUILD IT!

If you build it, they will come.

Ok it's a bank holiday weekend next weekend, anyone tell me the best glue for sticking one of these together? This could be the start of a build thread.

[Dday[501st]]

CA glue works pretty good and really any epoxy based glue. Gorilla glue probably as well

I know this is an ancient thread but with an f11 coming that I want to display with this, I'm actually making a start <br>

Gonna clean me some parts.

Thanks, I'll add pics now. So I've had this kit for some time, having looked at it now, as I'm cleaning it up, I notice it is actually quite deformed. I know I can heat it up and straighten it out but that won't stop it bending in the future. I remember this being a common co plaint about this kit but....... Anyone have any tips (apart from keep it in the fridge) <br><br>

When I bought this there was no 3d printing or anything and I'm out of tough with current kits (apart from hyper film etc.) I'll learn photo bucket, because I think it will be interesting to document this build but please chip in whenever you have anything to say at all.<br><br>

Thanks guys

Ok so the more of this I see of this, the more upset I get. So the casting details are clean, put there is mold marks all over it and the deformity, man oh man some of these parts are bent.<br><br>

It's build able certainly but the question is, do I really want to spend the time on this when there are easier kits out there made of more forgiving material. I'm just really concerned that if I build it, it goes on a stand next to the f11 that's on the way, basically is it going to melt?<br><br>

I can see this going back on the shelf. Or in a for sale thread. Anyone have any opinions on these kits?
