I like the AIM powders because there are more colors than Bragdon. They have adhesive like bragdon, but you DO have to seal the model if you want your hard work to last. I also use goache, hairspray, diluted acrylics, alchohal (bad spelling[:D]) and of course, the common denominator, water. <br /> <br />Dont forget about the effects you can get putting alchohal ([:D]) on dull cote. it turns white, and with a little practice it is a great technique. Plus, if you screw up, spray the dullcote again and its gone! <br /> <br />One of my favorite techniques is to mix burnt umber, raw umber and burnt sienna goache and dab a cosmetic sponge on it. Then dab the sponge on paper until its just leaving little speckles. Do this on the model and it looks like paint flaking and rusting.
