[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by pbjwilson Hi Don. Alot of painting products are great for modeling. I'm a painter by trade and use alot of paint products on my own layout. Here's a few I really like. ... Caulk - great adhesive, stays flexible, dries fast. I use it all the time for glueing down lichen and foliage clusters. Adheres extruded foam board fast. Clear wallpaper adhesive - dilute and use just as you would elmers glue. I like the border adhesive which is basically elmers glue but even less expensive. Durabond - mix with water, not quite as strong as plaster , slower dry time. Mix it with latex paint and you get a stucco type material. Texture paint additives - Add to paint, comes in differant size ttextures. Modern Masters dead flat varnish. Makes any surface dead flat. [/quote] Thanks for all the tips. I was especially interested in the Modern Master varnish. When I think of varnish, I think of something pretty thick. . . will this stuff cover details, say like the mortar joints in a brick wall?
