Liberty★Walk RZ34 Update #4: Making the hood vents

I was hesitating whether to make the hood vents or not. These need to be made directly in the original kit hood, which is attached to the body, so there was no margin for error. If any mistake happened, I would need to buy an entire new kit. However, I took the GWCC as my own challenge, so I went for it.


- Step 1: Make the cutouts on the hood to place the vent. In this step is very important to drill one hole in each of the corners and later to scribe lines from hole to hole until the cutout goes off.

- Step 2: Place the vent and fill the gaps with putty.

- Step 3: Sand, sand, and sand until getting a flush and smooth surface.

- Step 4: Apply primer on the surface to check if there are any imperfections.

- Step 5, 6, 7, etc: Repeat as many times as needed until getting the desired result.


Note: Before making this process in the actual body kit, I practiced in a piece of polystyrene so I would have an idea of my success/failing chances.
