| David Duckett | 30-Mar-11 08:25 | | The structure gets two coats of nitrate dope to seal the wood and make it smooth before covering with heavy grade silkspan. After covering, it will now get three or four coats, with light sanding between, to seal the silkspan and to make the surface smooth. Finally, when it starts to shine, it will be ready for paint. I've found that a smooth surface will cause the acrylic paint to have more of a sheen than if painted on a rough surface. I believe that all my models, except two, are covered with silkspan. |
