MannDuo Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 Just a small hint for those who take the painting seriously and like to mix to get the perfect colour, these have been invaluable to me! http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/40-New-3ml-Pipettes-Droppers-Graduated-0-5ml-UK-/230798136374?pt=UK_BOI_Medical_Lab_Equipment_Lab_Supplies_ET&hash=item35bca41436 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew K Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 Does anybody know of anywhere that you could take models to and have them Professionally painted and assembled? Only ask as I've got another model but I'm Not that good with the painting side of things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guigsy Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 I know there are professional builders. Iv seen them advertised in the back of modelling magazines. No idea how much they cost though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only ask as I've got another model but I'm Not that good with the painting side of things. Professional model builders are very expensive! My advice would be to buy a cheap model car off eBay (any type) to practice on. Good preparation and care when painting will make a huge difference (ie, using primer before painting, thinning your paint down (especially if using acrylics) Also, precise detail can't be achieved by free hand painting. Use masking tape! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
