I have no idea what went on with Friede. Firstly, if you remember it was primed and ready for its topcoat of white. I finally got to spraying the white and have no idea what went on with the can. The paint went on like milk- instantly running down the model. Besides that, numerous fish eyes appeared like I was trying to paint on bare, unwashed resin! WTF!
Letting it dry I attacked it with some thinner and nothing... That paint was on there. So next was taking out some sanding sticks and getting rid of the drip marks. That's been done, Plus a rewash and another coat of primer. I found a few more uneven spots which I took care of. I bought a new can of white paint so we'll see what's happens with that in the next day or two.
Re: the new colors. I bought a set of Vallejo Game Colors. I have a few (okay quite a few) smaller scale dinosaur models and the VGC looks like it might fit the bill. I've been watching a few You Tubes vids of "awesomepaintjob" and amazing things happen. I'm sure it's his talent, but the paint goes on great I'll let you know on this too.
This is my blog for my scale model building, and sculpting. Other hobby posts could include my fossil collecting, my herps or arachnids. I hope you find it interesting enuff to read. Enjoy.
