Model Building Toolbox Talk #10: Working w/ Heat to Bend Models & Roof Undersides Wiley's Bench Time - Model Railroading Podcast

    • Arts

Brett talks about using a lighter (can be replaced with other heat sources like heat gun) to heat up the plastic body of the Ford pickup truck that he's working on right now. This is a simple way to add some body dents to vehicle models and can certainly be used on all scales for adding dents, dings, and gouges to models! Please take extreme caution and wear all proper protection and work in a well ventilated area if you attempt this. Safety is the most important issue when working with heat.
The for our Double-Tip Episode, Todd tells us how he scribes the underside of the chipboard material for roofing. He explains to scribe them in 1/16" or 1/8" widths to create the appearance of lumber on the underside of the roof where the underside of the overhang would normally be painted brown or flat black. What a simple and awesome way to add some hidden or subtle details to your structure, even if you're the only one that ever knows it is there.
