SPACEExploring SPACE:A Guide to Using SPACE DecalsJakub NademlejnskýIn this article, I aim to familiarize readers with products from theSPACE range, often recognized as 3D decals among modelers.It's important to clarify that SPACE products are distinct from 3Dprints, which we label as PRINT and manufacture using 3D printersat Eduard. The SPACE decals employ technology akin to color photo-etched sets. Each product includes a sheet of 3D decals and aplanchette featuring photo-etched parts, where designers optfor steel etching, primarily for seatbelts, levers, and grids.Tools and Accessories for constructing theSPACE Instrument Panel for TBD-1 in 1/32scale by Trumpeter (cat.no. 3DL 32020)SPACE 3D DecalSheetGlossy Varnishon InstrumentsNote the glossyvarnish on theinstruments,mimicking theirglazing.INFO Eduard92January 2024Page 2
SPACESPACEEtching Platewith seatbeltsand levers forinstrumentpanel.Follow the instructionsto sand the relief fromthe plastic part ofthe instrument panelwhere the SPACE decalwill be applied.Leaving EnoughSpace for ComfortableTweezer HandlingIt is good to leaveenough spacearound the piece tocomfortably hold itin the tweezers.Applying the SPACE Decal onto a Dampened Kitchen SpongeRemoving SPACE Decal from the PaperSanding the Relief from the Instrument Panel Plastic PartApplying SPACE Decal to its PositionUse tweezers to hold the SPACE decal in place, applying and spreadinga drop of dispersion adhesive underneath, typically requiring only a fewdrops of water. Instant super glue is not recommended for SPACE decals.Gently press the SPACEdecal onto a kitchensponge soaked inslightly detergentedwater to wet only thebacking paper. Avoidsoaking the entire decalto prevent swelling.Pressing SPACE Decalto Remove ExcessWaterAfter applying theSPACE decal, pressit with a finger wrappedin cloth or roll it witha cotton swab to removeexcess water.Carefully Cuttingthe SPACE Decalwith ScissorsDue to its strength,the SPACE decal canbe removed from thebacking paper afterabout one minute, incontrast to classicdecals.INFO Eduard93January 2024Page 3
SPACEGluing Etched Levers with Instant Super GlueFollowing the procedure from the last and previous issues, glue the photo-etched levers withinstant super glue. Cut the lever from the planchette with etch scissors and dip it in a drop ofinstant glue dripped onto the glossy paper (I use the backing paper from a painting mask).New maska by EduardINFO Eduard 07/2023page 94.RIVET THE EDDIE WAYINFO Eduard 08/2023page 87.How to Work with PE-Accessories - Part IINFO Eduard 11/2023page 104.How to Work with PE-Accessories - Part IIINFO Eduard 12/2023page 84.Finished Instrument PanelSeating the Leveronto SPACEDecalUse pointedtweezers to seatthe photo-etcheddetail onto theSPACE decal.Have you read?INFO Eduard94January 2024
