[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by egmurphy I should have waited for that coffee to kick in before resuming work on my turtle, I mean my diorama. Yeah, I know you're wondering if it's the same diorama and how I can still be working on something that small for so long. It's easy, I don't know what I'm doing. Prime example, this morning I'm ready to bru***he earth-tone latex paint on to give it the base color. I think to myself, 'Self, how about painting the outside of the diorama black, like people do with valences and fascia strips?" Great idea, grab the nearest spray can of black (because I don't have a can of black latex paint at home) and start to give it a go. Fortunately I was sufficiently awake to notice how the foam started to shrink immediately!!![?] [:O] [banghead] Note to self, do not use solvent based spray paints directly on bare foam. [sigh] [:(] Oh well, I stopped before any serious damage was done. The chemical attack on the foam seems to have stopped. A good coat of earth-tone latex over the whole shooting match ought to fix things up. Ed [/quote] Sounds to me like you have a "new" construction zone now. Just add a bulldozer and a few men standing around with shovels. [;)] [}:)] [;)] Presto Chango, like magic, new diorama. [8D] [:D]
