 Post subject: Finally found a painting technique that works.

Today while making a custom Clutch with that awesome bearded bbi head I decided to mix a drop of plastic cement into my model masters paint. It worked wonders and combined with the quality paint the figure is playable; I forget who suggested this to me but I decided to take their advice, using a glue that is known to melt plastic together.

Once I get my cable for my camera (first mine breaks, then my cool little scandisk drive breaks I just can't win) I'll show a pic of the fig, the paint goes on great and it comes out nice as well.

No, but the cat will never be the same.

No, I chose the liquid cement because it takes a bit longer to dry giving me more time to wash the brush. Have a cup of water on hand so you can wash the brush as soon as you are finished, make sure you clean it out good. Even my detail brushes came out good as new when I finished.

I haven't tried it with the cheaper brands of paint like Dreamcoat but it works wonders with model masters acryl...which means I need to stock back up when I hit town again.

Yep, that's what I typed up on my website about painting. I use super glue though and use a wad of tissue to paint it on. That way when it hardens on the tissue, it doesn't ruin the brush. You can get a bunch of dollar store brushes for this too.

It does work and it does work with regular glue. I also top it off with some nail polish or clear coat so that it stays on. I've got some figures that haven't chipped and were paint a few years ago. I only use the glue when it's a joint being painted.
