Embedding plates, that´s a good idea. For bases etc, I thoguht that I´d build
the model on it´s own baseplate, then just put it on the display, like it´s
done in the catalogues. I don´t know if it really is necessary to embed
plates, if you can make the "standing-places" horisontal and plain without
bumps.
I was thinking of using Humbrol or just water-colours, but that is for
painring the scenery. I have never painted ABS so I don´t know which paint to
use.
