Both. I generally use cheap water-based Acrylic paints for things other than metallics. I'll brush on a layer of grey, or brown, or whatever I want as my basecoat, then just go over it with whatever else.
Mind you, I've yet to do a vehicle (painting), so I don't know how effective it would be for something as large as the Steam Tank, but it gives you a lot more control over where the paint goes, and there's no danger of melting all your hard work.

yep, i am fully with you on all acounts...in fact for my airship i baught me a silver acrylic paint i will definatly use for the tank as well...also i think a light basecoat with cheapo wallpaint...the one you pour into off white paint to color it... is just the right idea... mind you all that talk about milliput kept me from my true intentions how to paint the tank in the first place... namly exactly as you described it^^...
sorry about my absense guys, I went down with a bad case of afterschoolactivitydailyuntil10pmandschooltripandvisitstograndparent'shouse syndrome.
