Title: TerribleBens R1TK adventure
Post by: TerribleBen on February 22, 2020, 04:35:52 PM
Hello everyone. I have started on my Black Series bucket. I'm not a piccaso with the dremmel. My cheek vents are rough. Any suggestions to make them look better. Thnx Ben

microfiles and sandpaper should do the trick

I came up with a better system to open the vents. I ground the back side of the material to make it thinner and then went at the back vents with the dremel. Looks 100 percent better. I filled the cheek vents and will use the same technique on them. Cheers
