I was wondering if anyone had experience with White/Black/Translucent Acrylic? Any special way to clean/prep it? Does it take paint well? There are a couple of ships I'm interested in on Shapeways and they are only available in one of the Acrylic plastics. |

If it's similar to the old Clear Detail, it's almost like injection molded plastic IME, with cleanup being done best with a little dilute ethanol ( Green Cross medical solution is what I use. ) Army Painter primer seems to adhere best, but YMMV. |
