CA stright from the applicator, CA is too thin and goes everywhere apart from where i want.

Can some of you give some wisdom as to how you do it??

I've always been told that the best is Tamiya paints with Tamiya's thinner in a 1 part paint and 2 parts thinner ratio.

Is this ok?

I had the impression you had to. I was about to do a coat of Tamya Gloss from a rattle can then an oil wash for the first time I think i'll wait the answers then.

I'm a bit confused by this, sorry but your not being clear, Enamel = Gloss? Therefore my rattle can idea for adde...

Way not use a trick done by the SFX guys on Star Trek? I saw a photo of one guy holding a sparkler to a model and allowing the sparks to hit the model, making burn marks.

I've been reading this part of the forums for a bit now and i've come to the point where I'm going to do a wash on my Mini-BSG from Cobywan. So this is what i'm going to do and please tell me if i'm going to something do wrong. Step 1: I've done all my painting with thinned Tamiya Acrylic paint (thi...
