Nice! Your cammo paint job looks very good and the weathering is perfect in my eyes. Paul

Thanks again Paul. I opened a few Revell Acrylic paint cubes and the paint was 'sludgy'. I added quite a few drops of clean and clear acrylic thinners and tried them out with brushes. It seemed to work!

Start with 1 drop, and mix until your paint is just a little thicker than milk. Give it a try with a batch of paint you think is "shot". ... and tried them out with brushes. It seemed to work! Try cotton swabs. I was messing around with a couple different 1/72 builds and just fartzing (my own trademarked word) around and didn't want brushmarks in the paint. I discovered, HEY, IT WORKS!
