How to be an Armoured Farmer, building Hobart's Funnies in Glorious 15mm (and maybe 28mm if they arrive in time!)
Have you had a wash yet?
Before starting any cutting out and gluing bits of shiny it is always good practice to give it a wash in warm soapy water. This ensures that any mould release oil/agent is cleaned off the surface and won’t interfere with either your glue of choice, or your paint. This is especially necessary if you are a proponent of the Duncan Rhodes method of “two thin coats”.
Said bowl of soapy water and a trusty old toothbrush
Make sure you scrub all surfaces to be sure and don't forget to rinse with clean cold water afterwards to remove any soap & bubbles.
