I am presently making a diorama. I have been an "armchair modeler" for years without much interest in dioramas. However, since where I live lends no room for a layout the next best thing are diromas. Mainly these dioramas are to display cars and locos so I am fussy regarding the looks of the finished balast. I have tried the ol' 50/50 of white glue and water with a little dish detergent, but this still beeds up, puddles...arrrgh! [:(!][:(][V] Hm. I came across a forum post describing isopropinol (sp?) alcohol in water and applied with a mister-sprayer to get the balast wet enough to aleviate the...nasty stuff! <br /> <br />What is the mixture of water to alcohol[?] <br /> <br />[:)] The dioramas give me the flexibility to experiment with different techiques and to focus upon the details. I want to thank Malcom Furlow, Dave Frary (sp?), George Seleos (sp?), and the other contributors of such fine craftmanship in MR for inspiring me[:D][:D][:D][:D][:D]
