cteno4 Posted Saturday at 09:34 PM Share Posted Saturday at 09:34 PM Thanks. What were your feelings on the Tokyo diorama kit? How do they compare to sankei and amagi modeling idea kits (if you have done any of those). I’ve been meaning to order a could of the Tokyo diorama kits to try out. cheers, jeff Link to comment
Huib Posted Sunday at 08:04 AM Author Share Posted Sunday at 08:04 AM (edited) They are more or less equal to the Sankei kits. Same level of quality and detail. I don't know the Amagi ones. Grtz! Huib Edited Sunday at 08:04 AM by Huib Link to comment
cteno4 Posted Sunday at 08:25 AM Share Posted Sunday at 08:25 AM Do they use the same type of laserboard that has pigment all thru the board and heavy resin with little singing on the cut edges like the sankei? thanks jeff Link to comment
Huib Posted Sunday at 01:53 PM Author Share Posted Sunday at 01:53 PM It is all cardboard, just like the Sankei kit of the watermill I built. Grtz! Huib Link to comment
cteno4 Posted Sunday at 06:40 PM Share Posted Sunday at 06:40 PM Sorry I’ll be more specific with my questions; Does the coloration of the cardboard go all the way thru the material or is it just on the outside faces? Also any singing along the edges? jeff Link to comment
Huib Posted Monday at 08:29 AM Author Share Posted Monday at 08:29 AM Hi Jeff, Yes, the cardboard is coloured through, but the edges are effected by the burn marks of the laser. What do you mean with 'singing along the edges'? Grtz, Huib Link to comment
cteno4 Posted Monday at 05:18 PM Share Posted Monday at 05:18 PM Huib, Thanks! Wow someone else has that sankei laserboard or a similar one. Most of the lasercut kits use the just co,red on the outside bits which ends up with the white (now burned dark brown) interiors showing on edges that you need to deal with. Yes the singing I was asking about was the edge burning (sorry should have just said burned). I still don’t know how sankei does their cutting with very little edge burning if any at times. I’ve always expected they use a a lot of resin in their laserboard as it’s really hard to cut with a knife. Also dialed in their laser just right I guess. cheers, jeff Link to comment
Kamome Posted Monday at 09:30 PM Share Posted Monday at 09:30 PM @Huib @cteno4 Curse of having to proof read as part of my job. The confusion may have been due to the missing e. Singe - singeing (lightly burnt) Sing - singing (making music with voice) Sorry to be that guy!! 2 Link to comment

Kamome Posted Tuesday at 12:50 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 12:50 PM Sorry Jeff, not having a go. As a number of members speak English as a second language, just trying to defuse the miscommunication, not highlight any errors. The word “singeing” is one of those words that really doesn’t look correct when you look at it. Link to comment
