I feel like there were little sloppy areas       here and there, and the mystery of what happened to require me       to rearrange everything still bothers me.  So I decided this       time to make the detail by cutting it out of multiple thin       layers.  This time around I also refined the pattern a bit,       rounding the corners to 45 degree angles and adding detail to       the bottom layer.<\/p>\n<p>I think this approach has advantages over the other ways I&#8217;ve       attempted: it&#8217;s much easier to cut through a .3mm sheet rather       than a 1mm sheet, and it&#8217;s easier to get things lined up       properly when the guide is directly attached to the plastic.       Plus this time around I drew the guides in pencil, rather than       pen, and this gave me finer lines.  It was actually pretty easy       to get the cuts to be rather good, too &#8211; using a ruler as a       guide to make the straight cuts, there were only minor variances       which, in theory, will cancel each other out when the layers are       joined.<\/p>\n<p>I still need to clean up the parts a bit, but I think this will       work out nicely in the end.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/model-data\/1_100_Zaku\/MGZaku_050726_shield_1.jpeg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/model-data\/1_100_Zaku\/MGZaku_050726_shield_1_thumb.png\" alt=\"New shield patterns\" \/><\/a><a href=\"\/model-data\/1_100_Zaku\/MGZaku_050726_shield_2.jpeg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/model-data\/1_100_Zaku\/MGZaku_050726_shield_2_thumb.png\" alt=\"Cutouts for back-side detail\" \/><\/a><a href=\"\/model-data\/1_100_Zaku\/MGZaku_050726_shield_3.jpeg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/model-data\/1_100_Zaku\/MGZaku_050726_shield_3_thumb.png\" alt=\"Current state of shield\" \/><\/a><a href=\"\/model-data\/1_100_Zaku\/MGZaku_050726_shield_4.jpeg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/model-data\/1_100_Zaku\/MGZaku_050726_shield_4_thumb.png\" alt=\"Comparison with kit shield and previous attempt at detailing widened shield.\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I decided that the previous attempt at a shield back-face wasn&#8217;t good enough.
