Shellac, applied to the back of the paper, should cause the paper to adhere well to just about any surface.

Kevin Kenny Posted February 10, 2020 Author Share #63 Posted February 10, 2020 Roger i am not going to show the plates on this one maybe when i build the plank on frame i will reconsider. In the mean time i will do some experimentation like you are doing. On another note I got this book on marine steam engines. Should be interesting reading over the next month. I am still fighting up to find the exact design for the boiler and fire box. Moab, mtaylor and GrandpaPhil 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Kenny Posted February 10, 2020 Author Share #64 Posted February 10, 2020 I had a rough time with the imperfections of the bottom. Different surfaces, wood, glue, glaze putty, Bondo filler, scratches etc. finally got it to an acceptable level. Will sand and apply 3 more coats then mask to put the sides in white. yvesvidal, Moab, GrandpaPhil and 7 others 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roger Pellett Posted February 11, 2020 Share #68 Posted February 11, 2020 Kevin, Thanks for posting this! That guy has a steadier hand, stronger grip, and more confidence than I have. Never less, it is interesting to see how other modelers have solved similar problems. Paper plating so far looks promising and I am anxious to experiment with shellac. Unfortunately it is tax season here in the states and the little time that I have to spend in the shop has been spent building a glass case for my longboat model. Your model is looking great.
