Global Scale Modeller

Hi there again guys, I'm back after quite an absence back again because modelling is the only thing I can do that seems to help (if only a little) with my mental health issues. Now I'm liable to ask you some pretty stupid questions if you could indulge me I'd be most grateful.
So the first is that after buying myself some Sanders and buffing sticks when exactly and how do I use the buffers ( never had any before)

Kind regards Steve

Hi Steve

Welcome back to the forum. I dont use buffers myself but welcome back anyway!

Hi and back!

Plastic kits helped me (and will help) to stay focus on positive mind to prevent anxiety crisis. So if you want to ask questions don't hesitate, only fools don't ask questions!

Buffing sticks are just like a fine sanding stick used in the same way. Just gives a very smooth finish, but you have to progressively work through closely matched grades of sanding sticks before you use them otherwise it takes a awful long time to see any improvement.
Things like cars which really need a super smooth finish would be candidates for there use, but other subjects like tanks don't really need it. A lot of times a suitable primer will be fine for tanks which fills small scratches.

Hello and welcome
There are some technique videos on the sanding sticks on here, will look

Thank you all for being so understanding, stupid questions are probably my forte.
I find that providing I can get past the (I can't be arsed feeling, that an hour or two modelling helps me put everything into perspective and allows me to get past another day. Kind regards to all, Steve
