"When I got a bunch primed, I would put them on a piece of wood (2x4,
for example), then put them in a low oven (200 degrees F) for 20
minutes.
The relatively low heat plus time would cause the prime coat to "suck
onto" the miniature, allowing a lot of detail to stand forth."
TomB:
Doesn't lead and/or white metal have the kind of low melting point you
can reach with a small electric hotplate? And any plastic or acrylic
stuff would be dodgy for this (possibly resin too - something tells me
it won't cook too well?).
BTW - I'm always looking for good modelling tips for stargrunt.ca. Can
I post this one? (With a disclaimer 'not to blame if your grav tank
bursts into flame or you inhale toxic fumes!')
