DanielG Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 When I first looked at your pics I could not figure out what kind of ambulance you were trying to build and then realized it was going to be a custom (after going back and rereading!). Will be keeping an eye on this build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Most Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 can't wait its actually made from foam plates that i scored Careful when you go to paint it- some paints will eat foam. I'd reccomend acrylics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilone Posted May 20, 2010 Author Share Posted May 20, 2010 Careful when you go to paint it- some paints will eat foam. I'd reccomend acrylics. what brand would you suggest? Ahhhhhhhhhh All is right with the world once again We gots us a custom Caddy Ambulance build by the coustom caddy master himself Welcome back and Rock It Bro!! thanks bro trust me this one will be a challenge for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilone Posted May 20, 2010 Author Share Posted May 20, 2010 Can't go wrong with Tamiya. Be careful if you use Gunze, some of their acrylics use a pretty hot solvent. sweet thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie8575 Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 Craft paint is the least-aggressive solvent, you just may need a few coats to achieve the desired depth and evenness of color, although I've been told you can airbrush it if you're so inclined. I've used it a little. It takes a lot of getting used to, but it's good for little details and has a nice variety of colors available, which can come in handy for interiors. Be sure to shake it very thoroughly before attempting to apply it. Charlie Larkin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
