Though it smells faintly of orange, the Ambroid Safe Weld is formulated for plastics, and comes in a blue and green bottle. For me, it works as well as the MEK-based glues without being so noxious. I got mine at Hobby Lobby, but I have also seen it online. I wish it were more widely popular. I've he...

Fiber Optics, Painting, & Decals: Which Order
I've looked through several of the excellent threads on lighting, and was wondering how people plan a fiber optically-lit model. In what order do you: paint drill clear coat decal?

I always clear coat a model after weathering, in order to protect said weathering. With something innovative like eye shadow, it is imperative to start with light coats. You want to throw just enough gunk on the eye shadow to glue it in place, but not enough to make it flow and run. If you have a do...

Airbrushing Gouache
Airbrushing Gouache: I want to start using gouache here and there on my models, because of the lightfast/colorfast pigments, and am not sure how much to thin them.
