Thank you Gandolf50. I live in Portugal, no Walmart. But your explanation will help me to look for that product. I'll ask around.

I live in the States, the only brand I use is the in-house Walmart Brands, and as you might know, Wally-World will suddenly just stop carrying a brand for no reason, even when it is a best seller... I really liked the store brand of Crystal-Klear and all the options set bellow. Rustoleum 2x...

One of the things that you may want to look at is, once the model is finished, sealing it with a clear coat spray. It should help with protecting the model from fading and yellowing.

...can write a book... I was trying to remember some of the threads we discussed this before.. http://www.zealot.com/search/5033583/?q=sealing models&t=post&o=date Time for us to step back and let you decide which way to go before we drown you with info, as we hijacked the thread into a...

Thanks for all the great ideas. I am using this layered process for paper purists. Of course it will be easier to glue the texture layer onto Buchbinderpappe if available. I am designing this model so that you can pose the legs and then glue into a fixed position. Making it movable will be too...

So far, the best glue I've ever used on paper models is Aileen's Turbo Tacky glue. It's incredible, but if you need to glue a piece that requires adjusting, use their regular tacky glue... I would also recommend using scalpel blades to cut parts out, they are far superior to x-acto blades, and...

Well, I certainly wouldn't take the model to rainy Amsterdam... sign1sign1sign1 Just kidding. At the moment I really don't know how to seal the surface of coated card. I don't want to get the surface affected by a coat so that it becomes dull or even darker. But I will put it in a crate after I...

Greetings! Finally got some time to post some pics of my build of Revell-Fan's beautiful Colonial Raptor. The model went together like a dream! Everything fit perfectly, great instructions, no problems at all....That is, nothing attributed to the kit -It's actually a minor miracle it looks as...

This sounds like the basis of a model that can be taken to whatever level you want. I,like the idea of sealing paper, then spray painting the models. It reminds me of the way way used to make paper models. You painted them. Printers are absolutely great, but then seem to have taken some of...

If you are priming models, the hobby paint companies make primers specifically for that purpose. Generally, you want to avoid anything that is solvent based unless you have tested it first. For overall painting, such as sealing and priming the layout woodwork itself any general type of...

THE EAGLES ARE DONE! Well not really done as I haven't decided what I am going to perch them on yet, but the eagles are as completed as much as I am going to do from the canon model The following pictures show the three together, the large one alone and then the 2 smaller ones together. The...

Rick None whatsoever. Go for it. Cheers Maurice

Hey, Guys! I've been a modeler for over 30 years, but have just discovered cardmodeling. Currently working on a Halinski P-40. I have been interested in doing a USS Kidd Destroyer for some years now, and am considering trying it in card. I see that most ship models built from card are 1/200...

I belong to a modular club. I really enjoyed building my "craftsman" kit cars by P2k, Intermountain, Red Caboose, etc. I've since discovered that I can't transport these cars to meets without loosing the detail to breakage. All of those cars are being moved to my "rip track" to have the...

Scorpio's plating is in a completely different league to my effort. His level of expertise is what I aspire to ... doubt I'll reach it tho. Using th hull from attempt number 1, have been trying a red coloured polyurethane paint as a base which seems to be sealing the paper card nicely, to be...

I have seen a few people that used it on their models. One guy had a great step by step picture guide of how he used it to build his mountains.... Unfortunately, I can not locate his web page. Great Stuff has listed as one of their "100's of uses for Great Stuff": Craft and hobbyists...
