Greetings chaps (of either sex),
I'm looking to repaint some of my duplicate planes and start on the hobby side of my new love but need some advice first:
# To seperate the the planes wings to make access easier for painting is the best method to put them into the freezer, as I've read? Will this loosen the tail aswell as many of my planes seem to be off kilter?
#How are the pilots attached and is there an advisable method for extraction? What other sources are there (I know of the Peter Pig ones)? Although I may just sculpt some.
#Rather than strip and repaint has anyone used the prepainted scheme as a base and highlighted and weathered them?
#What level of painting do people like to see? Do people weather their planes?
#I like the idea of gimballing my flight stands and have seen two methods (ball on plane to donut magnet on peg, ball on flight peg to magnet on peg). What are the pro's and con's of each methods? I realise that with the later you only need a selection of ball bearings on pegs and it saves any massacring of the actual planes. Is it wrong to cut off a planes thingy?
Thank you for taking the time to read all that, any and all advice welcomed.
