Hello,
Recently I have set aside building wooden airplanes and went back to building plastic models. I am desperately tryin to learn all the techniques I can to make my projects as realistic as possible. Last night I stumbled across something that I hadnt given thought to before.
What do you do about chrome parts? I mean they have to be cut from the tree and when I do that... it leaves a small spot of the underlying colored plastic exposed. What should be done about that? Is there some sort of trick so that the underlying coloring doesnt stick out like a sore thumb? I have read that some places will rechrome parts for you, however I dont really want to go to that extreme IF I can avoid it.
Help please.
Jared
