Weld beads on a m113

Thanks John . I’ve become a huge fan of “uncle night shift” as well , he’s doing amazing work using insulation foam for dio. scenery. Here’s what I’m using


That’s Testors cement in a Tamiya bottle , Tamiya is too hot & will make a mess of what we’re trying to do.

I’m a bit to lazy to mix up epoxy putty for welds so what I do is pull a small quantity of green stuff from the tube & roll it out between my fingers into “snake “, the smaller in diameter the better.

I then hit the area I want to “weld” with some cement & place the “bead” there with the cement moistened brush.

Wait a few seconds for it to grab and then work the “bead” the rest of the way around the part , poking & prodding as necessary to get a nice looking weld.
