Mercman Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 First up you will need to find a good piece of material like a heavy duty Kleenex.. Drape this over your model with a piece of plastic like Saran wrap under it to protect the model, then spray with water lightly. this will cause the tissue to droop. When you are happy with the result coat it with a diluted solution of white glue. Elmers works good mixed 50/50 glue to water. Let this dry, then paint what ever color you choose. When dry remove the under coating of plastic, and reposition the tarp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BenDover78 Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 The only thing is, Be careful when you paint it because you will get paint on the model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
