I dunno that'd I'd add it all tbh, I use a lot of those craft paints as well for many, well, crafty type things, and I wouldn't want to mix them with other things. You already have to do quite a bit of mixing, and they dry out fairly easily as well.

Wash the model properly before you start painting, and mount it on a temporary stand so you don't have to handle it with your fingers.

Use a primer. AWater based acrylic isn't as good on plastic as enamel paint.

Apple Barrel paint isn't really meant for miniature figures, but if you want to mix it, use an acrylic medium plus water to thin it, rather than 'Ard Coat, which is very expensive for what you get.

When all your painting is finished, follow the advice given by previous members to do two layers of varnish -- gloss followed by matt -- unless of course you want a gloss finish. I prefer sprays for this stage but brush on is OK too if you make it a thin coat.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/687101/8582088.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/687101/8582088.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/687101/8582258.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/687101/8582258.page GMT
