I went in with low expectations and was pleasantly surprised. I sold a few books, and that's always a success to me!

Re: Model Kit Help Needed

So I had to run into Walmart and checked their paint cards and Walmart/Glidden's Colorplace paint called "Grayed Rose Quartz" looked like a winner! So take a look at that if you're curious and you don't have those two BatBooks handy. It's a pretty good match to the tight color without cus...

Re: Model Kit Help Needed

One trick I have used is to put a white glue (like Elmer's) on the areas where the plastic glue will go. Model glue won't work on painted surfaces. Then you paint the model. When ready to assemble just chip off the white glue (and the paint covering the glue) and you have bare plastic for the model...

Re: Model Kit Help Needed

Yep, a light gray usually does the trick for me. It helps the paint stick better to the plastic and if you're using Squadron putty to even out seams between the pieces, it will even out the difference in color between the green putty and the original color of the plastic so you won't see those seam...

Re: Model Kit Help Needed

Jim, you might also want to wash the pieces in a gentle soapy wash to eliminate any mold release that might still be on the plastic pieces. Your paint will go on in a smoother coat. Also, I prefer acrylic paint as you can thin it with water to make it easier to brush onto the model. Take a quick lo...

Re: Model Kit Help Needed

Have thought about taking on this model kit myself but have not pulled the trigger. Probably worth your while watching Doctor Faust's series of putting together and painting the models for the '66 line. I found them entertaining and informative. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uc7oXBbJvkk&t=632...
