Hello there
I've been away from the hobby for like 20 years, I've recently got back into it... Started building some og the old ertl and amt sets I had laying around...
I used to paint with humbrol... Back then there really wasn't much in the way of washes, filters og chipping fluid or you name it... Anyway I settled on Tamiya paint, not as though as humbrol but somewhat less toxic, tho still taking my precautions!
Anyway I started my first ever tank, m41 bulldog... Never thought of doing the figure... But I wanna do more armor and I think the figures lend some life to the models I'm not used to, so that's rather nice...
I've tried hand painting with Tamiya... Not a succes, I'm sure it can be done tho. Anyway I looks like a lot of figure painters recommend vallejo for hand painting figures... In the end I'm sure it doesn't rellay matter if you use AK, MIG og Vallejo.
I wonder why there are so many sets tho... Are people unwilling til blend the paints, easy solutions what?
Thank you
I was going to go with some of the flesh tone sets out there... But then I figured I could get by with way less... Flesh tone, brown, dark red, green, khaki, and black and white... That should basically cover my needs or....?
Anyway, I'm babbling...
Can you guys recommend some paint for painting - in this case - US Vietnam M41 tank commander?
