Clippings

[Diver6127]

Came across some tips about decals. They said that you could use magazine clippings on the inside of the lexan bodies by painting it with elmers glue. Can it be done? Says that if you clip the picture or whatever you want to use,slop on generous amounts of elmers glue then stick it to the inside of your body, wait for it to dry then paint as you normally would, it would work.

I don't want to waste a perfectly good body just to try it and then find out it doesn't work. Maybe I'll jsut try it out on a scrap piece of lexan.

Was just wondering if anyone has ever tried.

I've heard that Elmers glue works, but have never tried using it...

Found here...
