I recently started out in the hobby, and was hoping for some advice please. I picked up Master Creations "Bodine's General Store" kit, and the directions (construction manual) stated to use "Floquil Maple, Driftwood and Walnut Stains" to pre-weather/stain the walls. Directions also suggested alternate stains ... but they were Floquil's also .... Cherry, Mahogany, Rosewood, etc. I noticed that Testors has discontinued the Floquil stains, and was hoping somebody could help me: 1) Anybody know of any stores that still carry the Floquil stains? 2) Could somebody please suggest how I could create my own versions of the old Floquil stains? I'm interested in any colors (especailly maple, driftwood, walnut and mahogany). 3) Anybody know of a good alternative manufacturer (instead of Floquil)? Thanks in advance, Penthur
