What’s in the name? – In architecture we would sometimes say “It’s all a bunch of smoke & mirrors.” when trying to sell our unfinished concept with beautiful art and profound concepts. In model building we create beautiful buildings and dioramas that magically deceive the eye and mind into believing our outcomes to be real...Smoke & Mirrors!
What type of solutions are these? – All our products are acrylic, water-based solutions. They are non-toxic and clean up with soap and water. Some are very diluted so care needs to be taken (as with all water-based products) to apply conservatively to prevent as much warping as possible. Wood does warp, but is easily remedied. If you need suggestions to take the warp out of wood, contact us and we would be delighted to share some of our tricks!
