Hi everyone,
My diorama will soon need to be snow covered and as well as making some of it using lightweight spackle I want to use the good old PVA and sodium bicarbonate method.
I was looking at different techniques and I happened across a modeller who had to throw away a large part of his collection because the soda had started to eat away at his model's paint jobs, resulting in a slimy brown mess.
Now, firstly he had used enamels I think, mine paint is all water-based, and I was thinking that perhaps he used baking powder which has other stuff in it apart from pure bicarbonate of soda. but I would much appreciate anyone on here posting with info on this?
If you have any models 10 years + with bicarbonate of soda in them... how are they holding up? :confused
Many thanks
