AM Kit builds

[defiance7x13[TX]]

I ask this of the AM guys especially, but I guess this goes out to everyone. How are you guys building your kits? Is everyone doing the Standard butt joint and strips like a TK or is anyone using the natural seems that come on the AM cut?

I just finished mine. I didn't do the butt joint. I overlaped the front edges and then put the strip on top. Looks like the "butt joint" effect and it's a bit more forgiving if you happen to trim a little bit extra off.

 

Just what I did, personal preferance I guess and I'm pretty happy with the results.

 

hope that helps.

I'm not sure what your asking. Can you elaborate?

I'll probably use a snap/velcro/glue mix system to hold mine together. Most parts will be clam-shelled, and I may add a strip over top to add that "screen accuracy" look.

Is "clam shelled" glued on one side and Velcro on the other?

Yep.
