I have searched the academy as well as the rest of the site but havent found any details on techniques for shaving off those out of scale molded on details we find on so much rolling stock and Locomotives out there.
I am wanting to superdetail some of my things but I am a bit worried about carving away at my 100 dollar stewart F-7 A/B set without first getting some help in the way of tips and ideas for techniques that some of our modellers here use.
ANy suggestions for ways to shave these details such as grab irons and such off the shells and how to properly smooth them so they blend in to the model so I can put wire details in the place of the molded on ones?
