I was just curious as to what methods you guys use to clean your brushes? I feel like I'm burning through too much thinner cleaning the brushes. Should I keep one brush dedicated to each color? What method should I use for holding small parts while I brush-paint them? Any tips for cementing? Thank you in advance!

What's the consensus on using a regular box cutter to remove parts? Any difference?

Thanks 62rebel. I'll make sure to give it some extra stirring before use. I've been noticing the Chrysler Engine Red being rather splotchy when applying it (darker in some areas, lighter in some). I'll make sure to keep the thinner away unless absolutely needed.

Hello all, First post. I just started building my first model ever. I'm really enjoying it thus far. I'm building a '71 Dodge Charger R/T, 1:25 scale. I should have asked before I even began the project, but: I'm using brushes for all of the smaller components, such as the engine parts. I'm using the bottled Testor enamel kit. I was just wondering if I should be going straight paint on these parts, or dipping my brush into a tiny bit of thinner before applying the paint? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks guys.
