Hi,

That's pretty cool - I will give it a go when I get time to actually put my Wolves together and paint them.

How do you deal with REALLY small bits - like all the little bits that come with wolves?

As usual your videos are helpful. I'm getting more into painting models seperately and had been figuring out this stuff the hard way. The blue tack looks like a great time saver!

It's spelled "cavalry." NOT "calvary."

As you can see, I'm trying out one of your tips.

The plan is to paint a tab of Liquid Mask where the plastic joins, so I don't have to worry about primer or airbrush spray getting on the joins. After painting, I just peel off the Liquid Mask and glue them together. That's the theory anyway. Check my IG post about November and see if it worked.



My tip is the foam. You can't line them up and prime them (will melt the foam) but while you're grinding and sanding, the foam makes a great pincushion for your toothpick parts and Dremel bits.

Great ideas! The foam and the liquid mask! I do have foam on my desk, but NEVER thought of using the liquid mask to put where parts need to be glued. Brilliant.
