Because of the kits age, the wood pieces are extra splintery. I’ve been cutting the tabs with an Exacto knife. It works best for me to use a slicing motion instead of pressing straight down. This helps avoid cutting into the piece itself.
Hmm..I didn’t even think of that. I probably should have done that. It was pretty fun to paint the whole thing at once. It reminded me of painting in real life.
I believe this photo is only the first coat so it is not as blotchy.
