Starfighter Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 Of course it sticks, but it doesn't stick well - especially when you want or need to sand it afterwards. The paint tends to peel off when sanding it. I made lots of raised details on my Skywarrior using vinyl and it's not ideal. In addition, vinyl tends to shrink over time - I hope painting it will prevent that, otherwise I'll have a problem as well... blackbetty and Rockie Yarwood 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackbetty Posted October 26, 2020 Author Share Posted October 26, 2020 (edited) i see no other doalble solution (at least for my abilities) i have used vinyl before and it held upfine. what material did you use? i use 3M Edited October 26, 2020 by blackbetty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starfighter Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 I use Oramask, but vinyl is vinyl... anyway, if it works for you, perfect! Like I said, I've used it on my Skywarrior as well but it's not ideal IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just having a Google and found this. blackbetty and Greg W 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackbetty Posted October 31, 2020 Author Share Posted October 31, 2020 (edited) i sometimes use sheet,but the self adhesive of the foil just works better than anykind of glue than Ancy,that was one of the first threads i found Edited April 21, 2021 by blackbetty Rockie Yarwood 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KiwiZac Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 I'm another Pucara fan and this is very exciting to see! 3D printing is such a boon to our hobby and it's wonderful to see it being used for projects like this. blackbetty and Out2gtcha 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
