  1. 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.

  2. 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.
