I'm new to this..does scenic cement affect painted figures and armaments? Should the grass/earth etc be cemented before adding figures and vehicles? Thank you in advance.

Bob M.

For the most part no, the cement will not affect your models. The only question I would ask you is "what application method are you using"? Unless your using a "spray" application and you've placed your subjects already in the dio, than of course, if you do not cover them.
Yes, place your grass, earth, shrubs, etc before you place your subjects. But...before you do, make a plan of where your subjects will go in the final scene. This will allow you to apply tire or tread marks and tracks in the "wet" earth...as the cemented earth or whatever is drying.
Hope this helps.

Ken,
This is OT but I have been meaning to ask, what does the "19Kilo All steel-no feet!" mean?

Jim

19K (Kilo in the phonetic alphabet) is the military occupational specialty of the M1/M1A1/M1A2 tanker. Rides steel, doesn't walk.

That's why you're a Major!
Just our ole "inside" platoon call, sort of a bust on "grunts" Waaaaaay back in AIT, of all places the "Disney" barracks we had some Marine grunts train with us. Liked to pick on em. :-)

The old tankers used to call us "Grunts", "Crunchies", because that was the noise we made when they ran over us. We use to call the treadheads "Rolling Foxholes" and say "Clanity clank goes the rusty tank". Man, talk about going way back. Whew, almost had a flash back about the "Nam". Of course I was only 11 back in 68, but I was big for my age. Thanks. Chris (Tiger 1) Carney. :-)
