I sealed the model prior to painting:
I used Mod Podge for my initial sealant:
This is the best undercoating that I have ever found.
It works to make a paintable undercoat for any material that I have ever painted.
Once it cures for 24 hours, it will not flake or peel off, even on soft plastic miniatures, and acrylic paint sticks to it just fine.
I will start actual paint work tomorrow after this cures.
The only caveat is that you CANNOT sand anything you use Mod Podge on. -
I’m painting a Shorts 360 for a friend of mine.
It was his old plane.
I’m going to clone that particular plane for him.Here’s the 3D print:
It has the typical issue with tricycle gears in that the model is tail heavy.
I will add pennies to the under carriage, where they won’t be visible to weigh down the nose.

Keith,
Sorry to hear about Maggie’s difficulties!
The Tennessee is looking great! I had never heard of the weave method to make ratlines before. That is interesting and looks amazing!
