I've heard of this done before. I think I am going to have to find some of this paint. Is there a particular brand I should be looking for? Yeah...try it out. It works well. As far as what brand of paint...I don't really think it matters. Just make sure they're oils. Also, when you squeeze a little paint out to use, squeeze it out onto a piece of cardboard/cardstock and let it sit for a little while. You will see the cardboard/cardstock soak up the excess oil leaving you with more of the pigment which is all you need anyway. Also, if you do this it will dry quicker once on the model. Good luck! |

Just make sure they're oils. Just to (hopefully) clarify: do you mean the traditional artist's oil paints, that thin with a solvent such as mineral spirits or turpentine? This as opposed to the newer 'water-mixable' oil paints, that can be thinned with water? Altho they are both oil paints, they are not compatible. (The latter should say "water mixable oil" on the label.) Ed |

I do use the water mixable ones as well but on these models it was the traditional oils. |
