kitty litter for a tarmac

duckman,

Do you remember which thread the advice was in? I would also like to review it. Maybe someone that reads this will be able to help us with where it is.

There was an article in one of the FSM's about using kitty litter for a tarmac. Don't remember which one though

duckman,

I found the article in the January 2002 issue on page 92 If you do not have that issue let me know and I will get you the information on how to do it Let me know

Richard

Richard: if you could send me that information that would be awesome!
if you could scan it it would be even sweeter!
but just the instructions will do!

duckman,

I will get it to you one way or another. Is your e-mail address good here in the forum?

Richard

my e-mail address is flyboy_corsair@hotmail.com but im not sure about the FSM one.

duckman - it's on its way Let me know how they come in. I was just notified of a delivery failure of one of the messages If none of them come through e-mail me at RSaddlemire@sc.rr.com and we will try again.

Hey there duckman..... I just completed my first diorama. It is An a-10 on a tarmac in Kuwait. Unfortunately, I don' t have pics yet....hopefully soon. It is 1/48 scale, so it is pretty big.......I used celluclay (drywall filler) watered down pretty thin...I made a mistake and it was mixed too thin, but I poured it over my base and "carved" ashphalt lines into it with a piece of sprue. I then used white glue to cover the lines (like tar repair). I used a feather to paint on cracks. I painted the whole thing using different shades to get weathered appearance. I will post pics soon I hope. I hope this helps!!

i used it once. it may need to be painted or over sprayed a bit. just make sure you dont get the litter with the blue odor blocking crystals! a mistake i made.
