if you use superglue or a similar adhesive, be very careful not to let sticky fingers damage the model! In certain 

places, you might find superglue very useful, for instance where you are trying to get a warped piece to grab and 

stay straight. 

7. Prime all parts with a good black hobby primer to protect the MDF and keep it from absorbing water-based 

paints, which can cause swelling and warping of the material. DO NOT GET THE MDF WET, EVEN WITH 

ACRYLIC PAINT, BEFORE IT HAS BEEN PRIMED. 

8. You may wish to paint parts individually before assembly; this works well for small parts that are hard to paint 

neatly when glued in place. Be mindful, however, of parts that fit tightly--they should not be pre-painted or they 

might not fit correctly. 

9. To simulate weathered wood, dry brush layers over the black primer. Start with medium brown, then a mus-

tard-brown, and a final dry-brushing of tan. For other colors, the first coat over the black primer should be one 

shade darker than the desired final color. Dry brush a lighter shade in the middle of the area of color to give it 

the look you see in the wargame magazines!  

10. Experiment with your own assembly methods. Most of the models are fairly simple to figure out, but if you 

need help, contact Knuckleduster through our website, www.knuckleduster.com.  

11. Instructions for all models have or will soon be posted on www.knuckleduster.com in the downloads section 

(under "information").
