Just another question on paints

07 April 2013 - 05:47 AM

I've looked through several of the threads on paint but haven't been able to really find an answer to my question. I would like to get away from enamels and lacquers basically because of lung issues I have. I would like to go to water based acrylics. I've looked at Createx and even though there seems to be some issues with them I believe I can overcome them with the information I've found on YouTube. I've also looked at Model Master and Testor's airbrushable acrylics. My question is what would be the best water based acrylic and where can I find information on them as far as thinning and applying? Any comments on the above acrylics is definitely welcome.   


Model King Models

Can anyone tell me the quality of Model King models? They have a 51 Henry J gasser very similar to the one I had but did not want to purchase it if the quality is not there.

Is there a tutorial anywhere on this forum for posting pitures?

Wheel Question

22 December 2012 - 03:43 PM

I'm new to this forum. I've visited it many times and was inspired and also amazed of the workmanship of models I've seen here. I just got back into model building after being away from it for over 40 years. My grandsons have become interested in it and I've enjoyed many a weekend working on model cars with them. My question is do most of you glue your wheels to the chassis so that don't rotate? I've seen a video by DR. Cranky using a jig to square up his wheels & tires to the frame which appeared to do just that.
