Ahoy Joe;
thanks for the reply.
thanks for the tips. although i have been painting my plastic with both type paints for a wile now. i just don't mix, if i start with water i don't put oil on that model.
the washing i started a long time ago, in some mag. they said that all should be washed to get the oil off your hands off the model.
the brittle part is one that i'm not sure i would like. i have all ways thought that the small parts in plastic were to easy to brake.
well i guess there is a trade off no matter what you build.
May you all ways have fair winds and following seas
