Hi,
I have the double tunnel portal from the Hornby Skaledale range in red brick. While the brick colour is good the factory weathering less so. Has anyone repainted Skaledale tunnel portals or brick wall and it so which products did you use.The main concern is losing the detail in a coat of paint.
Thanks.
Hi, I would wash the model with a 50-50 white vinegar and water solution to get rid of any oils, an old toothbrush will help shift any debris in the detailing. Allow to dry and, handling by the edges to avoid any skin oils getting on the visible surface, spray a light mist of ordinary grey plastic primer over the model - just to give your chosen paint something to key to whilst minimising loss of detail.
You could strip off the original paint, but I've never attempted that on a resin model
