Hi there everyone
A question for all of you people who use Acrylic Paint
Since painting my new project; I decided originally to try using the Halford's spray paints - but, the only drawback I found with this was that I am unable to use any spray can with certain propellants in - due to the fact of certain health problemos. Even when I a dressed up as a NASA space person it still knocks seven bells out of me >:( so, I have to rely on my son to spray on my behalf which is not always practical.
Keeping in then with the acrylic theme; I decided to follow the path of using Tamiya Acrylic Paints, and handpaint the rest of the model. This is where -
IS IT ME OR IS IT ONE OF THE DOWNSIDES OF USING ACRYLICS I am using a half inch flat bristled paint brush - apply the paint to the hull - paint an area of say 2'' x 1'' - go to reload the brush with paint; only to find when I come to try and blend in where I have just painted, it tends to drag and try to peel off the paint I have previously put on. I have tried thinning down with water, unsure if this is the correct thinners :-\ but to no avail.
The only other option I can think of, unless of course someone can come up with an answer, is that I have a 'Badger Air Brush' the very basic one. I have never used this air brush as yet though. I am wondering, would I achieve a better finish using this, even though I would have to rely on the compressed air cans for the time being - (for the air brush).
What are everyones thoughts on this?
aye
