Semroc (Centuri) Taurus Build, Part 15, Gluing On The Conduits




This shows some vertical bands cut from the Contact paper blackboard cover material. You could mask it, but this is cleaner and much easier. I had to mask the fins, the peel and stick vinyl wouldn't work there.


The kit has supplied three tunnels, the face card seems to show two. With all the decals I decided to go with just two. I didn't want to crowd any of the detail and there are plenty.

TIP: When surface gluing pieces like this, use a white glue that dries clear. If you were to use wood glue you might see some dried yellow glue along the edges.

The tube has been scraped just inside the width and length of the conduit piece. Notice the contour sanded in the back of the conduit to fit the curve of the body tube. Glue just the back, here no fillets are needed.
