# burny splishy burny splashy burny glub

I was persuaded by betterhalf™ to paint some model cars destined to be a Christmas present.
They are to be scenery on an N gauge model railway.
I had no idea what the scale would be. It turns out to be rather small (a car =2.5cm long).
I am currently splodging the base colours on, soon to be followed by attempting to make them look good/eyestrain and convulsions. aargh :D

# pound shop specials all the way :D
Oh and a few old random acrylics from years ago. Oh yeah - ORANGE. I found a great big bottle of ORANGE acrylic in Lidl. Cost less than a mango.

# ok now i'm going to be geeky!
get down to your local games workshop, present the little oiks/nerds in there with what you need to do, use their paints and 000 brushes which are really sweet or get them to do it for you, and buy the one that paints the best a bottle of woodpecker, worked for my GCSE sculpture project and paints and brushes were free of charge if used in the shop!

# their brushes were rather good I think
I spent a small fortune on nice sable brushes back when I was schoolifying.
They were great to use - until they got stolen, along with half of my A Level pictures hahaha.
