ok, finally found this thread, knew there had to be one.
i started my scratch build MG today and life was easy and good!
the plan is to turn it into a look-a-like AC130 gunship. i had the chance to pre-order the new Avios C-130 but due to price and the fact i was offered the Blue Angels version, not the grey one, i passed.
instead i decided i should just save some cash and scratch build a mini - G.
plans printed, taped to foam board, and cut out without issues. i then took it outside for paint. this is were it all goes wrong.
i have been spray painting DTF board w/o issues for a long time. never had any problems so long as you start the spray off the board, then move on. well, today when i bought paint i went cheap and did not buy the rustoleum i usually get and instead got some ACE hardware cheap stuff. cheap being the optimal word, not only did it have very poor coverage but also started to peel the paper from the board.
so now i have a cut out MG, but not sure if i will be able to salvage it. i am letting it dry, then will assess it in the morning. hopefully i can just peel off the loose paper, then spray with super77 and reapply it.
cross fingers and stay tuned...
laters,
me
