So ...Hi Gowan, first reply was eaten by blogger.... So here is the short version :) The card I used was a type of plastic card, sometimes called sheet styrene. it is available at most model shops in NZ, and as a Gale Force Nine product where ever GW and Battlefront stuff is sold - Toyworlds, etc. Hope that helps.Uncle Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00975932783227453858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7345470195229914785.post-20775137983774155562012-04-15T19:42:16.476+12:002012-04-15T19:42:16.476+12:00Yeah, it does work well, but I am going to see how...Yeah, it does work well, but I am going to see how Dettol works, as it might be cheaper. I have overpainted old models before, normally to reflect a change in ownership, but the many coats of paint on this model were obscuring the detail on the model. Had the old paint job been better, overpainting would have been an option.Uncle Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00975932783227453858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7345470195229914785.post-13157104796842073392012-04-15T13:50:07.115+12:002012-04-15T13:50:07.115+12:00great work.
