Hi gang,
Many of you would know of the world famous Russian master ship modeller Dr Michael and his models. There's some videos around on his building techniques which I have been watching on u tube.
So been experimenting today with one of Dr Michaels techniques for using black paper to simulate caulking. He states in the video to ever use manufactured black paper as its too refined and the glue does not penetrate through the paper properly.
He uses brown paper bags, the type to get at fruit shops etc. So today I followed his process which I will list below.
First I cut some strips of brown paper, then soaked them in black acrylic paint diluted with 50 % water and then hung them out to drip dry for a few hours.
