Has anyone on this forum had any success,or failure doing their own photo etching? I'm thinking about experimenting with this process as my wife just bought a UV light for her nail polish...

I'm thinking about an easy project like making my own roof walks and end platforms in 1/29 scale.

This video is what got me thinking about it.

After reading a lot of different forum posts here and on other forums about the "chipping" method of weathering I'm curious if anyone on this forum has experience using any of the commercial products vs using hairspray. I know of two companies that make a "chipping solution" (Ak Interactive and Vallejo).

To me $5 or 6 for a 2 oz or so bottle of chipping fluid seems a bit high, when I can buy hairspray for about the same price and get more volume.

However, I'm willing to spend the money if someone can convince me that using these commercial products will be better than hairspray.

Okay, I ran across something by accident, that I'd LOVE to share as a quick tip!

CA glue. Now, generally, we would use a bit of plastic, like maybe an old WalMart bag, or plastic grocery bag, but, that can get messy sometimes, and the CA glue can get to be a bit hard to see on the plastic. I found te solution.
