doomius[TK] Posted July 10, 2015 Report Posted July 10, 2015 Got a nice surprise today to find out that my Doopy Doos kit came in early today while the Royal Mail was telling me it was still in Chicago! So without further ado, here is the unwrapping of the brown box! I am a little concern that some the pieces looks to have fell into a pool of melted resin. Would it be pretty easy to sand down on the side to remove the excess? It will most likely be 3-4 weeks until I actually start the build...finishing up my bachelor's degree this summer and it is pretty much eating up all my free time right now. Also gives me some time for T-Jay's completion kit to arrive! Quote
Khazid[TK] Posted July 10, 2015 Report Posted July 10, 2015 Your best bet for sanding down the resin is a dremel with a barrell sanding attachment. Keep the speed slow and steady so you can keep good control. Once you get the bulk of the material removed an the piece shaped to your liking, do a finish sanding with fine grit sand paper (220 or 320). Good luck with your build! Quote
crisisfilms Posted July 10, 2015 Report Posted July 10, 2015 I recommend just laying a sheet of sandpaper flat on a table and just sand the pieces against it, making sure to apply even pressure. After a while, they'll come free and you should have a nice even edge without too much hassle. 1 Quote
Thrawn's guard Posted July 10, 2015 Report Posted July 10, 2015 Jason - I used the method Adam mentioned above and it separated the parts from the base very nicely. The other big advantage is so long as you don't press too hard there is little chance of any mishaps and you will have very little clean up to do 9It doesn't take long to do either) I would suggest getting the degree finished then starting your build.......just my opinion but the degree is very important and i'm sure you have put much work in to it over the previous few years. The blaster can wait for a few weeks :-) Good luck with both your degree and your build. Quote
TK bondservnt[501st] Posted July 10, 2015 Report Posted July 10, 2015 those flat edges need to be flat, and I use the same simple way, with sandpaper on a flat surface. Quote
charlesnarles Posted July 10, 2015 Report Posted July 10, 2015 It is not easy to find a dropped pair of loose pre-sanded DVH finger guards made of black resin, so I assume they do it this way for our benefit. Good luck with your degree, hurry back😉 Quote
