Another trick is the imfamous <a href="http://www.swannysmodels.com/TheCompleteFuture.html" rel="nofollow">future floor polish</a> which dries to a high-gloss wet look. Really does look like it is still wet even when it is not.Zardozhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15120730367453632421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1298399641711237003.post-24780031095656129132011-03-18T21:22:39.403+00:002011-03-18T21:22:39.403+00:00Happy St. Patrick's day!Happy St. Patrick's day!Come At Me Brohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12471756942136977057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1298399641711237003.post-85508802858240371612011-03-18T20:14:08.027+00:002011-03-18T20:14:08.027+00:00Excellent work!

Since then, I've been using "Solid Water" (http://www.modelshop.co.uk/product/Solid_water_90gm_FT00102). Unlike "Scenic Water", "Solid Water" is two-part resin, dries very hard and really does look like water. It's more expensive, but worth it in my view as the results are a lot better. You also get a cool set of syringes with the "Solid Water" set which come in useful in all sort of things.Sidney Roundwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14795563060856586670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1298399641711237003.post-2495817951231059082011-03-18T17:22:29.659+00:002011-03-18T17:22:29.659+00:00atleast it turned out looking good.atleast it turned out looking good.CBax https://www.blogger.com/profile/05561664733351869010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1298399641711237003.post-47599108013618500522011-03-18T14:50:44.117+00:002011-03-18T14:50:44.117+00:00Reasonably happy?
