I am brushing my models, still haven't learned how to airbrush.

Are you painting with a brush or with an airbrush?

Acrylics are fast becoming popular due to the environmental issues associated with petroleum based paints. There are many acrylic lines out there...Tamiya for instance has their own.

Paint clean-up?
Posted by Synister on Thursday, February 3, 2011 11:45 AM

I have been away from the hobby for quite a few years and I remember building models as a kid, painting using testors paint and having to clean brushes with acetone or paint thinner. My question is, in the time I have been away have they released acrylic paints for models that are cleanable with just water? I know I paint Warhammer 40k models with an acrylic paint, can I use those for say model cars or planes or is there another kind of paint I should be using? Thank you for any help and advice you can pass my way.
