Why so many........

Unfortunately confusion & myself are best buddies! :P

I do agree most heartily! But as Paul's original point was that he's on a budget, buying a colour in Model Colour & Model Air rather defeats the object, does it not? That was my point.

Totally agree Patrick ! That is why Model Air will do the trick or to be precise it does for me.

Model Air will allow for me a good quality airbrushed finish. So that is step one.

Hand brushing. Say a pilot 1/48. One coat of all major colours followed by a second after 20mins. If necessary a third in equal time. Wait say two hours and finish your figure with finer paint detail.

One of the things I find here is that the thinness of Model Air can be used (often thin more) to give for instance relief in the folds of the clothing. Found that Model is so lifeless, for this work, compared to Model Air.

But as ever the proof of the cliched pudding is in the eating.
