My F/W Epic Buildings (may take pics this weekend ?!) ... they are fine but I used flat black commercial enamel from Testors or the Dollar Store !? ?So far so good ... but I washed them very well ... And it appears the paint is good; + I oversprayed with Clear Flat. ?One company that makes resin models, I can't remember which, recommended Krylon paint. ?But Epic INF, AFVs, etc. are so small, as I said I plan on brush painting enamel first as a basecoat. ?I also heard vinager is good to clean up resin, followed by a wash in dish soapy water ! ?

? As I said before, F/W Epic is fragile and hard to work with ... but we still pay outrageous prices for them !

Don't know if anyone else uses this but Armorys primer has never failed me on resin. My defence line was primed about 2 years ago and the coating never chipped

I've used Armory in the past, they are as good as Polly's, IMO. Got a link to the Armory ?

Armory paints still available? I'll have to check that out. They had a couple of metallic colors not available anywhere else.

But paint coming of also has to do if a model is touched much or not?

Anyway, I gave the models two layers of varnish. Ah well, it'll work, I promise.

The paint still holds, even after battles.

Good good!

Sometimes a good varnishing is good enough!

Can you still get Polly S? I thought they'd gone under. Certainly can't get them hereabouts anymore. They were certainly my favourite acrylic for spraying....and they made RAAF colours
