is it best to paint on the spru, as you have to scrape the paint off to glue
There is no hard and fast rules on this Dave,if the item requires detailed painting and it is difficult to paint whilst assembled then paint beforehand,otherwise try and assemble the model as far as you can then do the painting later,spue painting is mostly aimed at small items that can be difficult to hold whilst painting them,so yes in that case go for pre-painting.\ said:is it best to paint on the spru, as you have to scrape the paint off to glue
I usually nowadays remove the part from the sprue, clean it up and prepare it for painting then I reattach it to a spare piece of stretched sprue, pared down to give a small contact area and glued onto a surface that is not visible on the model.\ said:is it best to paint on the spru, as you have to scrape the paint off to glue
