LEXUS IS 350 (Fujimi 1/24) Work in progress #3

Hi from sunny Sydney :) I know most of you are now preparing for the winter, but here it is now getting hotter and hotter. I should be patient to keep myself from going fishing but modeling.

The polishing process has been started on my Lexus.
 #3000 Mr. Hobby's Polishing Cloth, and #6000 Laplos, then Soft 99 Fine Compound applied.
After every process, I washed with dish washing detargent.

Then Tamiya Course Compound applied. Still fine scratches were seen, but these would go away after the next step.

Tamiya Fine compound applied. most of scratches had gone.

Tamiya Finish Compound applied. I am happy with this result!!

This is the weapon for this build.
 "Sujiborido's micro polisher 123" on Toyo Associates' Mr. Meister Pen-type motor tool "PT-αⅡ". To apply compound with this combo, I set the rotate speed very low.
 These combos made the job much easier and quicker. I don't feel any numbness on my hand.

Now I'm sure I'll be finishing this one very soon happily. What a good rehabilitation!


See you soon:)
