Tips for Applying Paints on Your Ship Model

Before starting, prepare the surfaces by removing dust and any sanding marks.

When possible, paint small parts before assembly to facilitate access to areas that will later be less accessible.

Plan for brushes of different sizes to handle large surfaces and deck details.

For wooden elements, a preliminary test on a scrap piece allows you to check the rendering of a shade.

Apply the products gradually and follow the usage and drying instructions on the pots.

Varnish is used on surfaces concerned by this finish, in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations.
