HMCS Bonaventure by NavyShooter - 1/96 scale - an RCN fitting out


Recommended Posts

And.

 

The verdict is - I'm an idiot.

 

I rushed the paint job in adding the gray, and didn't wait long enough between coats.

 

The tape stuck to the deck and left behind glue all the way along the green, and the gray paint bubbled in multiple spots.

 

I'm going to have to strip and re-do. 


Damn damn and triple damn.   I'm mad at myself tonight.

Are you sure the 2 paints are compatible? 

I had something similar in the past, but the drying wasn't the issue. 

I used acrylic primer over a layer of top coat and that didn't seem to work... 

 

A real pitty though 😭, your masking was top notch, no signs of bleed...

Same exact brand of paint.  I didn't let it dry long enough between coats.  

 

😞

 

In other news, I packed everything into the Naval Museum of Halifax today for our monthly Ship Modellers Guild meeting.

OK, so it turns out that apparently regular oven cleaner is a good (fairly) non-toxic way to strip paint. 

 

Here's how the first two panels look stripped, and re-primed.

Rattle can.

 

Here's the rest of the deck stripped and primed.

So, something I noted is that the last time I was futzing about with the flight deck paint a couple of years ago, I had a problem with paint bubbling...and I had to strip it (I used a belt sander on the plywood that time.)

 

I recall that I used the same type of paint both times.


So.


This time around, I'm going to try a different brand.  We'll see how it goes.
