the masking tape appears to have affected the chrome so I think when the gold is dry I will varnish the whole thing redo the chrome then varnish it again.

I have that affect regarding tape occasionally, normally when I forget to seal. Nice contrast in colours Ken, well unusual, that;s what I like about your builds...non conventional.

Is that chrome paint the PlastiKote stuff Ken? If so, I had the same problem. In fact, it never seemed to dry or harden off for me.

[Guest]

Yes it is plasticoat, it did feel dry and I could handle it before I put the masking tape on, even the bits that didn't have the tape on I can handle, but I does rub off very easily. I will see what happens when I varnish it.

Crap stuff really for models is that Plasti-coat stuff...I have a couple of tins left and just use for weathering.
