Wow cool. Thanks for the pics. 😀 😀 😛 I use some of the fancy acrylics myself to make unique textures for my 3d work. 😀 😀 ;p

You're welcome Normally I use acrylics to paint my kits Sometimes I will use enamels if the color I need isn't available in acrylic 😀 😛

I normally prefer acryllics as well. I usually goto www.blick.com for those things. They even have stuff to add to acryllics to give material various textures or sheens (like pearl like sparkle for example). 😀 😀 😛

Occasionally depends on the effect I want. For very rough and clay like effects oils are better.

For glitter, pearl, metallic effects acrylics work best for me.

Yea me too. I have limited space. I usually have to find a spot in the garage or in kitchen to work. So things that clean up easily are essential, so I dont get yelled at. 😛 😀 😀 😛
