OK. But I use acrylic paint. I just want to use a spray can instead of a air brush. Is there anything else that we can use that is easy to find in a spray can?


Thanks

Hey,
I was at my Ace hardware store today and I saw some Krylon clear coat finish - non yellowing oil based. Can I or should I use this to seal the finished model? I used acrylics for my base and weathering and I used oils as my wash. Also, is 91% alcohol a good thinner for acrylics?

OK, Well here is an interesting topic that the boys and my self are talking about. It seems that after construction of certain parts of the engines, the boys think the paint is a little on the light side. So I said just darken it. But they want to pull it apart and repaint them. Now, would it have b...

OK. Will give it a try.

So can I just cut three pieces of clear plastic from a template that I made from the broken canopy? There is a fram that looks like it is molded to the three panels. How can I paint that area on the canopy?

Hi, I walked on our canopy for the X-wing that we are building for our school project and broke it in several pieces. I think it would look bad if I glued the pieces back together. My Dad has been on the site before asking questions on building, etc. I'm dead with out it. We are building the Pro Sho...

Plan to get it. Opps!!

I saw it and plane on getting one. Now I only need to connect the power to it.

I did look at them, but are you saying that there are others to choice from? I need FO for a と お思 &#( pit and four LED for the engines. Are there switches to turn them on/off already connected?

I found a piece of PVC pipe that will work. Now how do I prep the PVC for painting and what kind of glue should I use? I will be gluing the PVC to a sheet of styrene.

That makes sense. Will go today and check out Home Depot.

Me again, I do not have the mind of an Architect . As a ER Dr. I can only think in terms of the body and not 3D shapes. I also have no intention of ripping off another s idea. But I still need help with this base, and were at a dead stop. How can we make the ventilation shaft and the columns that ex...

Can I use a counter sink bit to make the screw sit flush in the MDF? Thanks for the reply.

Hello,
Can I use a sheet metal or wood screw on 10mm styrene to a base made of MDF?

I have never worked with LEDs and fiber ops. Is there a tutor or a good book to walk me through it? I went to my local electronics store and they weren't much help. They did have all of the parts needed. Lights etc.

I have access to a vacuform machine. Is it a good idea to use this to make a few panels with some deep recesses?
