other brands which has been provided by Microscale.

Yes the RDC was posted as with the Alclad black. As mentioned it is a
strange paint to use. It was mostly a goof as it was not stainless yet.
I paint my all of interiors black as I have no intention of ever detailing
or lighting.
Thank You,

Hi Don.
Quick question. Is the color black used on the SHS 2-8-0s a match to any
commercially available model paints?
Thanks

Thorin,
Take some glass wool and stuff a medium sized funnel with it. Use enough
glass wool to fill the funnel up to about 3/4ths of its volume. Then press the
wool down to make a sort-of-tight fit inside the funnel. This last is to
ensure that no paint lumps can pass through the wool.
I use both scalecoat and Floquil paint. I am using a lot more scalecoat than
Floquil. On some recent projects, I used Floquil with a top coat of Crystal
coat. When I tried to put on decals, I had a very hard time to position the
decals. When I used scalecoat with no top coat, I could move the

Hi All,
A few months ago, there was a good discussion on various paint remover products
that were safe to use on plastic models. Unfortunately, I didn't copy the names
of any of those products. Would someone who remembers a few of those products
please post them again? Thanks.
Ed Davis
A general, good paint remover for plastic is Isopropyl alcohol 70%
Otherwise known as rubbing alcohol or IPA.
There are other products which I am sure others on this list can tell us
about.
I have had good results with IPA.

Scale coat is great paint! If you thin it four to one, you shure wound not
get very good coverige. About 25 to 30% will spray good. And here is a good tip

Thorin,
I have admittedly not switched to acrylic paints. However, I don't think the
paint is your problem as much as trying to brush it on. IMHO, you are never
going to get a nice smooth finish no matter what paint or brush you used,
when compared to an airbrush. I have heard some paints have

As someone that has been known to paint a thing or 3, I say go BIG.
Admittedly, I may have gone to the extreme in that respect. My paint booth

Hi All,
For years I have dropped a few BB's into new jars of paint as I use
them for the first time. This helps agitate the pigment when I shake
the bottle. Recently I added a couple to a bottle of clearcoat, but it
seems that there may be a reaction taking between the paint and the
