Tip: |
When you're carving out a shape with foam or any other porous substance, try coating it with spackling compound to get a surface paint will adhere to. The compound comes in large, plastic tubs at hardware stores and can be easily sanded, primed, and takes to almost any putty (Squadron and Testors for example). |
