I really enjoy building and painting small model cars.
Do you like to use acrylic paint? I know the speed is fast in drying.
yes I do! it comes out looking nice and it's very easy to paint and correct.
Do you ever use air brushing? I know it can give a great high gloss finish!
I have used it in the past, but I am not so good at it just yet. It also needs a clean environment, which I don't have yet.
Do you have any tips on how to make your model cars look more realistic? I know that can be hard when it comes to plastic.
I think the the best thing is to use a nice clear coat. It really makes them shine. I even use a tiny polisher after it has been cured. It looks like real car paint!
I like the AMT 1989 Batmobile model car. It has a turbine engine, computer decals and even dual machine guns. Plus, being all black, you don't spend tons of money on paint. Do you have it?
I don't have that one but that is such a classic! I have always wanted to try building it. i agree, going with one color is always cheaper
Another one that is a cool option is the 1967 Camaro. It is more for those that are advanced, but adding a dual exhaust or a roll bar, really does personalize it and make it look sharp.
