Model painting suggestions

[bmxman 69]

1) I use testors everything.  The Testors Model Master paints are the best, 
or an airbrush with thinned enamel in it.  I've had a lot of problems 
painting models with the off the shelf paints that testors markets at 
K-mart.  That means you should go to a hobby shop if you want to spray from 
a can, but again an air brush will give the best results.

2) If you can still find the testors Original model cement it's the best.  
It comes in orange tubes, and is both toxic and flammable.  Do not use 
anything non toxic, you'll get the fall apart syndrome.

3) I think a Black UrQ is very cool, but whatever suits your fancy.  If you 
don't want to be original they make Black Pearl.
