I know the feeling - my last set of Form-u-lay casts was less than
spectacular.
I used acrylic modelling paste (can get it at any art store) over 1/4 inch
plywood last building I put together. However, having just finished reading
Roy Porter's "Model Building Masterclass" I'm all full of piss & vinegar to
try some of the new stuff learned there. Like my tank kit collection wasn't
already languishing long enough unattended on the shelves!

hardens enough to use!

doors and windows and Wednesday, paint it!
