4. Frankenstein penguin. Nothing RC-related, but a fun side-project. It's a garage kit made of resin cast. I started with sanding, filling air bubble holes with Tamiya white putty, another sanding, another filling and will get another sanding soon. And here's Frankenstein's penguin in a...
Ideally, you’re looking to coat the entire miniature in 1-2 thin and even layers of primer. A layer of primer helps your overlying layers of paint stick. A good primer will stretch over the surface as it dries, like a super-thin layer of plastic wrap. This stretching action smoothes o...
