What is the best paper to use when making card models? What printer settings should you use? Should you varnish the model? If so, with what? Do the colours run? Does the ink fade in time? Can I get the model wet? What happens if I smudge glue on the model?
All these questions and more are answered in this video with the help of the Chandwell Cube of Truth.
Whether you make your card building models from scratch or whether you build models from Scalescenes or Scale Model Scenery, then this video is for you.
I've made a model using three different types of paper, two different printer driver settings, and three different varnish treatments. I put it all to the test so you don't have to.
I splashed water and spilled glue. I put the whole thing in a bowl of water for ten minutes. Does the printed paper survive? Is there a best paper to use for models? What is the best way to protect the surface of the finished model? I can show you my approach and hopefully it will help you to find answers to these questions, or show you ways you can test your own equipment and materials.
