Yes, my Security Chief, Dr. Gundam, did tell me he encountered a group of your spies trying to penetrate the StealthWorks, but he chased them off. But, Carl, you really must teach your spies to be more discrete; they left a very large and obvious trail of Hollandaise. <pun intended> But they did not succeed in discovering our next Stealthy project.

Jack12477 Posted June 8, 2019 Author #34 Posted June 8, 2019 (edited) JCT, They aren't "oil" but rather water base artist acrylics. I prepped the plastic with Tamiya Fine Surface Primer in a rattle can. I then applied the paint with a brush. I dip the brush in water then take a dab of paint on the brush, then a little more water, then mix it around till it thins out then apply it to the model. Same mixing/blending technique an artist uses to put acrylic on canvas. I use a plastic egg carton style palette I get in Michaels. There is probably 4 maybe 5 thin coats of paint on the model when I am done I overspray with Testors Dullcoat to seal the paint and decals.. Winsor Newton produces both oil and water base artist paints.

flying_dutchman2 Posted June 8, 2019 #35 Posted June 8, 2019 Jack, Looks great and I like the color combination of blue and yellow. Marcus popeye the sailor, Jack12477, mtaylor and 1 other 4 Current Built: Zeehaen 1639, Dutch Fluit from Dutch explorer Abel J. Tasman Unofficial motto of the VOC: "God is good, but trade is better" Many people believe that Captain J. Cook discovered Australia in 1770. They tend to forget that Dutch mariner Willem Janszoon landed on Australia’s northern coast in 1606. Cook never even sighted the coast of Western Australia).
