Lacquer paints are usually pretty tough and self level thinly. You could also try pre sanding areas that will rub so there’s a little more room before painting Quote
pengbuzz Posted Monday at 07:55 AM Posted Monday at 07:55 AM UPDATE: more detailing on the U.S.S. Callisto- Will be doing more details (phaser strips, photon/quantum torpedo tubes, windows, etc) and decalling soon. Stay tuned... Quote

MechTech Posted 11 hours ago Posted 11 hours ago @F18LEGIOSS2 Everything will scratch - sadly! However, Big s is absolutely right. In fact, sanding will give the paint more bite into the surface. I build a lot of parts like that and always try to get the correct color plastic so scratches won't show easily. But that's obviously not gonna work in your case. Like Big s said, try the lacquer paints. Maybe even an automotive rattle can if you can find them. Best wished with your paint! @pengbuzz Is that another masking masterpiece!? That looks cool and the detailing on the surface really adds to the depth of it! - MT Quote
derex3592 Posted 9 hours ago Posted 9 hours ago I'd like to add to the 1/72 aircraft updates finally... Academy A-10 painted up over the weekend, and all ordinance assembled and painted. Light Ghost Grey on the bottom and Dark Ghost Grey on the top more or less, layed down in light coats over the white on black mottling, the two greys are suppose to look more pronounced than they came out but mehh, whatever, all the online pics look like it's all about the same shade in the real world. Forgot what a pain 1/72 ordinance is.. Haha. Hopefully clear coat decals and detail painting this weekend! 😊 Quote
