OK... I just got my Atomic City Mercury capsule, and it's everything everyone has said. My main question is; does anyone have any tips on painting the vinyl astronaut figure? My inclination is to use my Citadel Acrylics (good old Mithril Silver...), but do I need something "hotter" to key into it? What about primer? It's not like I'm going to play with the figure, so it doesn't have to flex repeatedly -- I'd just like the paint to stay on!
Best regards, Matt
Floquil silver of some shade?..
Spray it with acrylic lacquer primer and you can use any kind of paint you want, including enamels.
I use sandable primer from krylon I get it at Wal-mart. I have done many vinyl models with no problem. I would use white. If you don't use the barrier it will remain tacky forever.
