Hi Johann
I also use ironing spray (Zeta Spray). The attachments are (used my admirals springform) to give you an idea .First sprayed wet and dried with a hot air blower taking the shape of the blowing direction. Material is cotton. This type of the spray is neutral in color and the proccessing time is short.
Kind Regards from Istanbul

Hi Korsan thank you for the guidance
Model ship picture of the day...
How many of you guys prefer the wood tone style of model?
Hi Kurt
My answer would be it depends on the model.If she is a simple model or the grain of the wood used for planking is not something special or a simple detailed one, painting of major parts ( hull, decks etc.)can give her an additive eye catching character.I mostly use stains which are water or alchol soluble ones.
In the mean time i started themodeling La Couronne again after summer, I want to finish the yards and the sails.I plan to color the yards in black.Main parts of her are minimum painted. In the attachs la couronne at the moment and some of my builds which are mainly painted
Kind Regards

Great looking models with the dies instead of paint, looks more natural and weathered a bit, versus bright paint colors.
Indeed. I prefer dyes over paint when they can be used. They don't cover up the wood grain or fill it in.
