I mainly use acrylics, as you can wa***he brushes with normal tap water rather than needing thinners. I'm a big fan of the Games Workshop range - intended for wargaming though some of the colours are usable. Their aerosol cans are great for undercoating, especially the "Chaos Black" which is very good for underframes, roofs, etc. <br /> <br />I also use a fair bit of Tamiya acrylic paint, especially for loco handrails as I can effectively paint Athearn metal handrails in one coat with these - just load the brush with paint and draw it along the rail, it'll leave a smooth thin coat. The trick is to avoid going back over the same area - this will leave brush strokes and won't look as good. Hope this is of help!
