Brother Glacius Posted February 12, 2019 Report Share Posted February 12, 2019 So I picked up these nice buildings from Dave's Wargames. I'd like to paint it, but I'm a bit worried that the detail that is burned into the wood will get covered by the paint. Any advice? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestRider Posted February 12, 2019 Report Share Posted February 12, 2019 As long as your paint isn't too thick, it shouldn't be a problem. Thin paint soaks into MDF like crazy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Glacius Posted February 12, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2019 was planning on trying my airbrush on it. I also have a bunch of color inks too, so maybe that wouldn't be a bad way to go. Have to give it a shot I guess and hope it works out.

jesselowe Posted February 12, 2019 Report Share Posted February 12, 2019 IIRC, you may want to seal it with something like PVA glue first, so the wood doesn't suck up too much paint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ish Posted February 12, 2019 Report Share Posted February 12, 2019 Once you’ve got a good primer layer down, you’re golden. Just be prepared to spend extra time on that step... My advice is to give it two or three thin coats of primer, then walk away for 24 hours. Come back after it’s had time to dry and “drink” and apply some specific spot touch ups. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
