How about a Acrylics complimenting Enamal's thread...

Instead of using either acrylics or enamal's.. how many out there use both.

Cool [8D]

I for one am a die hard Model master Enamal fan. where i'm at its easy to get and I find it easy to use....

but I say why limit yourself to one line of colors.

In painting my models I tend to to use Model master enamals for my starting point. But to help me get different effects and the color results I want I use Tamiya acrylics, Pollyscale paints, Humbrol enamals, even artist oils and other mediums of the art world.

my last "great" modeling effort was a duce with a Model master enamal basecoat, a pollyscale weathering coat followed by a Tamiya buff filter coat.

So I say go ahead and use both.. for if you limit your paint.... you limit yourself....

lol end of my little rant...

I use both... MM enamels, MM Avrylics, Gunze acryl, Vallejo and Color of Eagles acryl (the last 2 being most of my supply of paints now as I love the so much!)

But I still find use for enamels, especially with brush painting and certain colors like metallics and such...

I use Tamiya acrylics to airbrush but also love Humbrol and Revell enamels for hand painting as Tamiya acrylics don't brush very well.

I am always reading Japanese modelling books that say they use acrylics first, then enamels for the washes, with no gloss coat in between.
Groovy baby
