    If these are used for wrapping up food to keep it fresh then yes The cotton wool can be stretched out to as thin or fine as you need also try soaking the wool in something like Valleo waters effects this will reduce the fuzziness. beefy

    For a recent torpedo boat build I did before Christmas I used an acrylic gel and cotton wool with Clingfilm to achieve some thing like that but for the high speed wake of the boat. HTH WIP https://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/235134073-japan-torpedo-boat/ beefy

    Hello @bissyboat the terra cotta that you are looking for would be a non-slip coating known as Corticene and the grey would be deck grey a darker colour than shown on those paint guides here are the Colour-Coates examples. The light Grey would be for the verticale surfaces looks like your paint guide is showing a western approaches scheme Hope This Helps. Stay Safe beefy
