It sounds like a very painstaking job to get the paint exactly right. 😀 😛

It can be my friend 😀 😛

 

[General Zod]

Very^99999999999 true and excellent thinking. 🙂

If you mess up a paint job,you need to strip the paint off using paint stripper,or brake fluid 😀 😛

Another rule in painting models

Never use a laquer based paint over acrylic paint The acrylic will crack 😱

If the color I need is not available in acrylic,then I use enamel 😀 😛

I dont think I have used enamel. I have used some oil based paints designed for canvas. They are nice in they have a lot of texture to them.

For the most part,enamel paints brush on better than acrylics

There is one brand of acrylic that brushes on great Vallejo brand A Spanish brand A bit pricey at $2.30 for 17 ML of paint But figure painters love that brand 😀 😛

😀 Good Evening, Friends 😀
Glad to see you are all well. I built a P51 Mustang used during WW2. I painted it with paint specifically for models at the Hobby Shop. It really rocks.

I haved used that brand and it is very good but yes it is pricey. 😛

I usually am painting something to take a picture of and then modify the work in a software program to priduce some nice textures for 3d modeling programs.

Hi Zod
My day was alright. I went back to school today.
My P 51 has a grey color all over with certain special details. I have black stripes from front to back on the wings and tail, and a star with a blue circle around it to represent the airforce on the right wing. The nose is yellow. Hehe.

Hi Helena. Great to see you here.

Hi Kurchie. It's always nice to see you too.😀 😀
