Linka Model Making
Having purchased some linka moulds recently I thought I would post my models.. will add on as they are built.
This is a new project for me. I am having a few problems with the glueing,using PVA waterproof glue tends to weaken the joints, so I am searching for something else more suitable to glue the joints.
Painting the model (pub) using watercolour paints which I find give a better finish and the colour is probably more true than the acrylics.
Here is my very first Model of a pub, modeled in Stonework.. need to add chimney pots Ect
Here's a Tip for those of you making the models.
Windows : Removing the unwanted mould from the windows is best done by scratching out by using
a Dental Tool (sharp Point) or using a metal point used that come with your craft knife set as illustrated below.Using a knife can be difficult and cause more damage and on occasions I have broke my window by using the knife method.
