Enamel paints do have their uses though. When applied over acrylics, you can play the subtractive game with them with white sprit, leaving the acrylics underneath untouched. Very, very useful for weathering and subtle blending fx. If only someone invented a similar "undo" feature for acrylics..

Yeah, I tried the enamel/ mineral spirits trick and it seems that I have to make a mix EVERY time I try it- hence switching to oil paints, as they don't separate or dry out as much. Fortunately I don't have pics of my old Heroquest atrocities I did in enamels.. let's just say it wasn't far off from the "one thick coat" pics going around. As I said, it was more on me for not thinning anything and overspraying primer.
