The most complex piece I did was <a href="http://caffeine-train.blogspot.co.uk/2014/06/how-many-rivets.html" rel="nofollow">this body for a slate rubbish wagon</a>, and in it's bare state you can see the film, <a href="http://caffeine-train.blogspot.co.uk/2014/09/the-long-road-to-rhosydd-rubbish-tip.html" rel="nofollow">but once painted it's gone</a>.Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02418527698793489162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5560322057997297901.post-60463022140647628222015-03-15T10:14:50.723-07:002015-03-15T10:14:50.723-07:00Good advice.

Maybe the decalfix would hide that too.<br /><br />Lord Stonerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14735046388170436892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5560322057997297901.post-68276008119949613522015-03-15T08:29:50.002-07:002015-03-15T08:29:50.002-07:00Those Archer rivet transfers can be a bit of a pai...Those Archer rivet transfers can be a bit of a pain. My first attempt was a disaster as they just wouldn't stick. I'd been soaking them in water to get them off the backing paper. I can't remember who, but someone suggested soaking them in Humbrol decalfix and not using water at all. This seems to work really well, although it's still getting a coat of primer over them once they are dry to make sure they stay put.Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02418527698793489162noreply@blogger.com
