"Scientists vs Artists" from S. Zaloga

Like!

I just spray and pray...I try to do my best but I don't worry too much about it. Besides just like buying paint.

I agree with Manny's position as stated early on in the thread. (Just sucking up.)

I too will strive to get as close as I can with what paints I've got on hand. The wash and subsequent weathering will alter the base color anyway. I don't worry about it any more.

Great post Karl. I don't have an input but I just can add that I rarely buy exact matches..... I also agree that by the time something is weathered down an exact match will never be noticed.

Thanks for posting the link it was a well worthwhile read.

My models will never be in a museum.

My models will never be in print.

I don't sell my models.

So my color theory?  I paint my models to my liking because I'm really the only one who sees them.  I model for me and no one else.  So what do I care if someone thinks my OD is too light or too dark?
