    Enamle vs Acrylic

    in Painting, finishing and weathering products and techniques

    Posted

    Same as Larry. Mostly I am using acrylic paint, because it's (for me) much easier to clean up (and breathe, mainly when using an airbrush). Only problems seems to me with metal colours like copper, gold etc. Now I'm sitting here and listening to other experiences :-)

     

    Most acrilicss need an appropiate base coat for coverage and bring out the color better.

    For bronze and gold I use a brown  base color. For steel, iron and silver a black base color.

About the NRG

If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.

The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.

The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
