That is good advice - wash your models. They often have mould release (so the manufacturer can get the parts out of the mould) that stops paint from sticking. The other thing is oil and grease from your hands. So after you wa***he models, try some disposable latex gloves (or cotton, or vinyl) from the dollar store. The added bonus is that you will not get paint on your fingers! [;)] <br /> <br />I generally use Polly Scale or Model Master water-based patins for ease of clean-up, and to avoid fumes. After the first coat is on, I switch to the dollar store/Walmart-type craft paints for weathering, mortar, and general drybrushing to achieve a less uniform look, especially on brick where you see natural variation anyway. <br /> <br />Hope that helps. <br /> <br />Andrew <br />
