Preparing plaster building for painting
Posted by Anonymous on Sunday, March 21, 2004 2:36 PM
Hi all,

I'm just about to start working with my first plaster building part for my dio, and I was just wondering how I should prepare it to get ready to accept my paint, especially getting rid of the chalky residue. My first thought was to wash it, but I then thought that wouldn't be too smart as it may soften the casting.

WHat does everyone else do ?

I could tell you all my secrets for painting buildings, but then I'd have to kill you. Wink [;)]
Take a look at this site, this is pretty much what I do:
