Hi all, I am also going to do a bit of work on the metal parts ( gun carriages pumps etc ) on my San Fran 2 in between waiting for the glue to dry on the planks. Question....What do you skilled builders use in the way of paints? I have lots of humbrol enamel and some acrylic paint left from earlier plastic builds. Are they of any use? cheers Peter completed..... Endeavour Longboat, San Francisco 2, Virginia 1819

I always use a good primer for the base I am painting (metal, Wood Etc ) Humbrol enamels I use as well. other guys will give you their prefrences.
