I LOVE my Micro-Chisel from Mission Models! I've had this one about three years now and I swear by it. It is ideal for getting into those hard to reach areas like hair, between fingers and toes, and um, armpits!
Uh-oh, Babs has a pimple! That's okay, we'll performa a little surgery with the Micro-Chisel!
After cleaning the mold release, the first thing I'll do is start cleanup and pin the model. Using a hobby knife, clean the pour spout from Babs' feet.
Next, I position her on the base and mark around her feet with a pencil. Then I'll make a mark perpendicular to the side of her foot in line with her ankle. This is because I want the pin to go up into her leg and not just her foot. This is a big kit and I don't want her to topple over!
Drill a hole using a bit the same size as the pin. For large structures I cut the head off of nails and use those for my pins, but you can use anything you'd like!
Since we are going to be handing this part a lot, I use a length of 5/32" brass rod for support. Once I'm finished with the piece, we'll cut most of this away and use the stub to pin the head and cape to the torso.
Sometimes I'll clean the kit before primer, but in this case the model looked pretty good right out of the box. I laid down a light coat of gray primer as a guide coat to help me find the inevitable imperfections.
This view shows a minor seam and some little chingaderras in her hair. Very minor and easily fixed.
A few very minor pinholes and bumps. I probably won't mess with these because they'll be hidden by her cape. Note the brass rod for handling.
