It had to happen.
Although I have a big phobia of MDF models, I finally bought one - by mistake! I hadn't realised it was mdf. My fault, the blurb clearly stated it.
The up side is - I'm enjoying building it up! It's a good job I have a moratorium on buying more stuff, or I'd get more (I actully have 2 models, as I'd purchased two).
Anyway: the model has several detail lines marked (as is usual on mdf models, it seems) with the laser set to a low power.
How do you retain these? I can imagine three approaches:
1) using thin layers of paint
2) very careful painting between the lines
3) redoing the lines with a brush (gulp!) or pen to refresh them.
Am I right, or is there a simpler way out?

Buy some cheap acryllic paint and drybrush the building. Afterwards wash it with brown or black wash. When I get home I will post Some pictures of my Old West buildings for you.

Hey Za, thanks, very much appreciated and looking forward to the pics.
It's a vehicle - a truck actually:

I'll be replacing some parts with 3-D equivalents, but it's a good starting point.
In any case - I'm still interested in any sort of solution, for any type of mdf model.

Like I said above, just dry brushing, a wash (black)and a dry brush with a dust colour that's it.
Hope it helps,
Cheers

Wow - those ARE nice - and a whole range of colours too, including a green I will probably use!
Thank you, very much appreciated.
Beer's on me if you ever visit Malta.

You are welcome. Don't spend your good on this. It was done with the cheap acrylic ones you find in every dollar/euro store.
cheers,
And a free beer in Malta (now to convince the misses to visit Malta in te summer) lol
