Minor disaster on this project yesterday... I was playing around with more thinned oils trying to get some variation between panels of the wood grain, thinking "the first lot of oils are well and truly dry, I can't hurt em, no need to clear coat first" .... wrong....!
The thinned oils softened the dry oils and I lifted a little bit of the original wood finish off on the port side under the cockpit - the more I tried to clean it up and paint over it, the worse it got. Then it started happening on other areas over the airframe...
End result, I cut my losses and stripped the wood grain back to the bare plastic... arg!! *Breathe, place the model back onto the table...* Lesson learned - always clear coat.
I am definately not immune to disasters - at least this will give me a fresh start on the wood grain again...!!
Sigh!
