Would that work? It would certainly make a secure yet quick release connection.

It really depends on the weight of the finished model, weather or not you are running any wires thru it, and of course, aesthetics.

Check out my thread on Mike Salzo's half scale Galactica. I made my own decals and sealed with future. I also lay down future under the decal. Helps reduce silvering and helps it stick.

If you can, wet sand the globs and runs. If the primer is sandable and you haven't covered up detail you want to see, it will work out well. As far as the future goes, sand it smooth and shot a slightly wet coat over the sanded parts.

I heard that if you add a few drops of light blue to the white before spraying, the blue won't be noticable but the white will never yellow over time. Has anyone else heard this?

No, tell her you want to buy and restore an old sports car. You'll need to take over the garage AND driveway and use all your retirement savings as well. When she gets mad, tell that you love her and to make her happy, you just go back to building models.

Does anyone know a place in Toronto (or on-line in Canada) where I can find GOOD inkjet water-slide paper?

I had already thinned the polly scale with a touch of windex and denatured alcohol. I then added some Tamiya white to lighten it.

Well, I did it. It worked well but coagulated a bit. I strained it and shot it without problems.

Poly Scale Acrylic

Just bought some Poly Scale Acrylic for $1 each at a clear out. It says to dilute with water for airbrushing. Anyone have any experience shooting it?

Why would you? It would melt. Just score the sheet with a sharp blade and snap it apart.
