First some background: I recently started modeling at the age of 20 after taking almost 10 years off. I am a college student so between work and school I do not have a lot of time or money to spend with my models. (Although I'm trying to figure out how to get more of both haha).
I have some questions on problems that I have run into. How do you all hold your parts while you paint them? I am using brushes (as of now, looking for cheap airbrushes) to paint and I often mess up the paint because I am holding them with my fingers, or I can't paint the whole surface area because it is laying on a piece of cardboard. Is there a better way to hold and paint pieces? Along the same lines, how do you all keep pieces in place while the glue is setting up and drying?
Also, I would love some tips/tricks that you wish you had when you first started! Thanks for the help! Here's to a successful (hopefully) modeling career!
