It's snowing here in Minnesota this Easter weekend, but hopefully for the last time this season. I am taking the time indoors to do some painting work on some of the in-progress models I have sitting on my desk. I finished applying the preshading layer and base coats on the radio car. Now on to detail painting. Some people really love this part, but I wish I enjoyed painting more. It is my least favorite part of model building since so many things can go wrong at this step after having spent weeks putting the thing together. Yet, reaching the finish line requires passing through this tedious step, along with uttering a couple four-letter words.
A good tip: cardboard cake rounds are really useful for airbrushing. They are super cheap, a package of 6 costs $5, and you can use both side of a round. They also fit on to cake decorating turntables which are also super cheap ($10). It is a lot less expensive than buying a fancy paint turntable.
