Hey gang. I was wondering if anyone has tried to plati-dip super structure pieces. I am thinking of doing my SS out of foam, but I am worried about durability. Does anyone have any input? Here is what I am wondering: Does it look good, or does it make the superstructure piece look like a blob of rubber? Does it hold up to BB hits? Is it too heavy? Does it dissolve the foam? Any info would be fantastic. Thanks all! Capt. OCD
I haven't tried it, but I suspect it would look pretty blobby since you'd lose any sharp corners. What ship are you looking at this for?
Very blobby and very heavy. Better off with a coat of epoxy resin, maybe even some fiberglass if you're really worried about getting shot up. Even that would be thinner, lighter, and hold more detail than the tooldip.
