Detailing & Painting Techniques

Detailing & Painting Techniques DVD by "Mr Scale" Dave Platt

DVD Volume 1

Dave Platt says, "this is the 'FUN stuff, guys!"

The " fun stuff" starts with pilots and cockpits, continuing through molded exterior details ... butt panels ... overlapped panels ... louvers, and much more ... all explained to you in Dave's workshop, now.

A neat tool, a panel line drawing device for round fuselages is demonstrated, and you can make your own, inexpensively.

Something that appears so simple as a panel hinge or a wing tip light has been many a scale modelers' undoing. Dave provides a couple of great solutions, right here.

Bad riveting is common on many scale models. Dave demonstrates his riveting tool and how to put on rivets, the right way. With the riveting done, his Macchi 202 is nearly ready for final Detailing and Painting.
