Few questions about finish items...
1. What type of tape do you use to do your stripes, and designs and such? Painters tape is too sticky as it pulls apart the foam board.
2. I see some planes out here with pin stripes, or what appears to be stick on colored semi transparent tape instead of paint. What is that and where do you get it?
3. Anybody ever use the 8 1/2 x 11 clear peel and stick sheets from the local office supply store? You can print your own sticker on a color printer and it looks like this would work good. I ask as I have seen them in the store, but have never used this or tried it.
4. Looks like the best way to paint is either very light coats of regular paint, or water paint? Where do you get your water paint. Does water paint hold up for this application? Any techniques you care to share?
Any tips and tricks you want to share? I see some very cool models that some of you have tricked really well.
