Chrysnbon rocking chair - arms in progress
Plastic kits have mold lines and injection marks by nature, but these can be disguised with sanding and scraping. For this particular part of the kit, there is simulated wood grain. The circular injection marks stand out a lot. I used the sharp tip of an X-Acto knife to mimic the grain pattern as well as possible.
You might not be able to make the marks blend completely, but it is certainly an improvement over the obvious circles. Once the pieces are painted, they should be even less noticeable.
Here's an example of the mold lines. I scraped the lines away and then added the simulated wood grain.
