First question on this forum for me:
I have some Shapeways Reduced Aircraft Factory full color nylon printed airplane models on the way. I understand that the surface comes out rough and very matte. Do folks here treat the surfaces in any way to make them more smooth and maybe add a bit of shine? I don't want to load the models with heavy gloss, but am anticipating wanting to make them a little bit closer to the finish of the WoW/WoG/WGF plastic models.
I understand that the nylon prints may warp, and that people dunk them in warm water (not boiling) alternately with cool water to have the printed models return to shape. Would it interfere with this possible future need to put anything on the surface of these models?
