hazmail Posted March 30, 2008 Report Share Posted March 30, 2008 Lockes - I know how you feel, I live in Australia and it may as well be Antarctica sometimes. I use 'Jo Sonja' and 'Liquitex' artists acrylics mainly, great color and great pigments, thinned with water, or better still 'Windex', through a .2mm tip, no problems. I also use a bit of 'Tamiya' hobby paint, thinned (20-30%) with methylated spirit - their clears are pretty good too, clean the brush with the same. pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BJ Smith Posted March 30, 2008 Report Share Posted March 30, 2008 Can you get Tamiya or Parma Fascolor? The Tamiya is kind of pricy but following Pete's advice, you can make it last a while..... Good Luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
