A really silly idea... I need your opinion...
I came back from holiday , before i went for holiday i solved many family/business/financial etc. personal problems and other things and it's all good now , i have a lot of time too so i'm back into modelling for good... And i was just in Germany for a while and i have been in the new porsche werk near Lepizig , and i have thought about painting models.... Normal car bodys have those special chambers for drying where they put them in big temperature... I'm that type of impatient guy and when i paint my model i hate to wait for it to dry especially if i haven't got another one to start that time... So... here goes the part with my stupid question... If i put my painted model into my sauna where i set up a temperature for example 60 or 80 or even more degrees (celcius) would it dry faster? I think that kind of temperature shouldn't be a problem for plastic , but what about the paint? Is it actually possible? Sorry if that was covered before... if it was give me the link...but if not please give me your opinion or maybe even some of your expieriences if you tried such a weird thing...

Bad idea since a sauna creates humidity.

use some spare parts and paint them. throw them in the sauna with as little humidity as possible then see if it works. guess its the only way to find out if the plastic is gonna melt or not. you're gonna have to experiment.
good luck and have fun Coz

Put your model in a small box.
Make a hole in this box put a light just in the begining of the hole. Switch on the light. The temperature in the box where you model is will increase because of the light. And in the meantime, you model is protected against the dust. Hope you have understand what I mean. It's hard to explain it very clearly with my poor english !

There are two types of sauna , finnish sauna and turkish sauna. The turkish sauna is a wet sauna type and finnish sauna is extremely dry if you turn the heat up , normally you spill some water over the rocks in finnish sauna to make it a little more humid... Otherwise it's extremely dry inside , and i have this finnish type sauna...
Btw Rcmaxx where to get a paint baking oven? I don't live anywhere in the US or even near... What kind of shop could have it? It sounds like a nice idea but i actually never have seen one...

Tom, try looking for a food dehydrator. You've got the right idea with the sauna, but it'll only do half the job. At the same time you're heating it, you want all the solvents to be able to evaporate.

I am not american, just staying the the US for a while, americans are kinda umm, closed world minded....

Well, polystyrene can go to at LEAST 110-120 degrees FAHRENHEIT (49 Celsius). This is because in the summer the kits stored in the delivery trucks probably go up to that temperature, and I don't think anybody on here has ever had a melted kit! You could probably go higher, experiment and tell us what works...
 Good luck!

If you don't want to wait to long for the paint to dry, try using Duplicolor automotive spray paint.. Works fine for me, can finish a body with primer, base coat and clear coat within 3 hours.. (duplicolor says resprayable within 15 minutes only metallic must cure 30 minutes...) So that would be fast enough for me.. only I waited just not long enough with my metallic paint job, sprayed clear over it and where it wasn't dry yet, it became nice white on a dark green/blue metallic car..
 Just have a little more patient than me, and you'll be fine in a short time Greetz Stefan
