I have been very happy with the GBFans shell. It's a great piece and I highly recommend it. One cosmetic issue has been bothering me, however. The raised "fins" around the Power Cell, Crank Generator and Gun Mount all have a slight but noticeable concave dip. To fix this to my satisfaction, something which is completely unnecessary and me just being... well, just being me I suppose... I needed to build a few guides that will shape a Milliput topcoat. I fashioned these from the tree known as popsicle stick. Each is double thick and then sanded down to size...
I wrapped & positioned the guides using painters tape so I could easily remove before the Milliput set...
I worked the Milliput until it was reasonably smooth & flat. One trick with Milliput, a little water and a flat tool really help with final shaping. Another helpful tool... patience...
To remove the guides, a razor knife dipped in water easily breaks the bond. Once this cures overnight, will follow-up with sanding...
