I learnt this from a great guide to Future here:
The Complete Future
Pledge Future as-is doesn't exist anymore, but Holloway Quick Shine Floor Finish (got mine from Home Depot) is pretty much the same stuff, as far as I can tell, so I just call it Future.

cheers for the link, I'll try one of the Aussie alternative. The reason I asked was that I thought some "secret operation" or rigging was needed to prevent the fumes from spreading. If simply coating the sheet solves the problem, so much the better.
I checked the thread because I've been curious about how much of what is needed to play tabletop wargames (scenery, vehicles, figures) could be made downloadable by individual players so as to minimise the entry price into the hobby. On another forum, someone noticed that the number of scale buildings & vehicles that would be suitable for an australian terrain in the 30s were rare and in some cases, a bit pricey. I've decided to created a few papercraft ones that I could post so people could simply download and built them. Also, since there's already some free game rules out there, it would be interesting in the long term to design models to go with them.
Now, your Fire Raptor is clearly a "deluxe edition" to would be a bit beyond what I'm aiming for but your description of problems and solutions makes for an interesting read.
