Christmas Gift / Figure Painting Help

says no such item was found! that will make painting easier. happy new year!

whoa horsie !!! mine did not even turn out close to that. instructions were general in nature and that is a compliment. I used Tamiya paints and they worked just fine...

why won't it come up?

I very much recommend acrylics for figure painting. Assuming you use the same brand for the whole job, mixing the colours on the model to get shades is so much easier. I'd bet that Kalmbach has a book on the subject but I don't know that. Good luck on this project and I hope we see pics!

I wouldn't use gesso. When you work with acyrilics you don't need any kind of primer. I haven't done the stagecoach but I have done many figures using tamiya paints with no problems.

You know, I'm willing to bet that there's a Historex guide on how to do this out their just lurking around.

You know, that was supposed to to be "there" instead of "their" and it took me a few days to track down the straight poop on the yellow Japanese fighter wing ID stripes, but now I've got something new to dig up before 2007 ends. Okay, lets go digging for how one best paints model horses. :-D
