                         Hi Matt, You've opened a can of worms with that Que. !!! Everyone has different methods,& while they're many good books on the subjects you ask,I'm sure you'll get plenty of solid info from people much more talented than I. Therefore I really think you should ask the same que.s in the "Paint" & "Techniques" sections in this forum.Just scoll down further [ I didn't go any further down than "Armor" for a couple years cuz it was so great ]. Okay,truth is I didn't know it was there !!!!    Good luck,  rudedog

                        I like this site, it seems to have some very good information for the modeller.
