Hello,
I'm currently working on my cheapo 1:200 HMS Victory model and making steady progress. I decided to go down the copper tape route for my copper plates.
I'm fairly happy with the results, except for the corners and edges of the tape. The edges and portions where I've held the tape, they have lost their adhesives and are slightly raised. I was thinking of perhaps layering the entire bottom with some sort of glue or wax that is see-through. I'm just not sure what, and am also concerned it might react and change the color drastically in the long run. Anyone have any experience dealing with this? Should I just individually apply ca glue to each of the "plates"?
