Hey Texman, even I think that is a good tip! Never thought of that! I will think of that when I start my next build.

If you are using photo paper, test that before you commit. It depends on your printer's brand of color ink whether there will be bleed issues with Krylon's solvents.

No worries. I for sure don't have a "god" complex compared to some of the other master builders here.

Sitting here in the quiet, having some coffee, I looked at the phrasing of my
previous post, and realized, that did not come out like I wanted.

I was not implying that builders here at PM.com have "god" complexes.

I was trying to express, that compared to some of the master builders here,
I have nothing to be that proud of.

Goes to show how a message can be messed up, if your not focused.
Don't type and cook/take care of animals/talk to wife/tack care of sick
kids, at the same time. You lose track.

I am sorry if I offended anyone.

Ray, I have not built a single paper model I can consider worthy. I have however, read your posts and have gained from them. A merry Christmas to you and yours and a hope that 2018 treats you as kindly as you have others. You have given more than you know. Stay well.

If you spray the parts lightly before assembly, it helps the ink to "set",
preventing smudges. It also allows "stray glue marks" to simply be
rubbed off the model.

Got some spray matte Krylon. WHAT A DIFFERENCE!!!

It is much "more of a whole" now.

Thanks for a great tip.
