: Hello all!
: I had a bunch of questions, but since they are hard to explain, you will need your instructions to help you/me.
: 1)On steps 15 and 21, how can you *easily* paint the white ribs on the skylight covers?
: 2)How can you *easily* paint the brown parts of all the staircases?
: 3)Any tips on shaping railing?
: 4)How can you *easily* paint the black & white details on the Forecastle deck and 3rd Class Poop Deck?
: 5)What is the *easiest* way to put parts G25 and H19 together, such as in step 17? Also, the same idea put different parts in different steps.
: 6)Any tip of mixing bronze paint?
: Thank you for any of your help.
: David
David-- I can give you at least one tip on bending rails-- very hot water. I used one of those 180-degree superhot taps on my kitchen sink-- gently bending the rails beneath the running hot water-- it softened the styrene nicely without melting it. I would guess that regular tap water, as hot as you can make it, would also suffice.
