Frequently Asked Questions
-
1. What kind of brushes can I use for painting models?
The type of brush you should use for painting models depends on the type of model you are painting, the size of the details you are painting, and the type of paint you are using. Here are some general guidelines:
1.Synthetic brushes are usually better for models than natural hair brushes, as they are less likely to shed and are more durable.
2.For small details, use a brush with a fine tip, such as a size 0 or 00 brush.
3.For larger areas, use a brush with a wider tip, such as a size 2 or 3 brush.
4.Use a flat brush for broad strokes, and a round brush for more detailed work.
5.For acrylic paints, use a brush with synthetic bristles. For oil paints, use a brush with natural hair bristles.
6.Clean your brushes regularly to maintain their quality and extend their lifespan
Ultimately, the best brush for painting models will depend on your personal preference and the specific needs of your project. It's a good idea to experiment with different types of brushes and find what works best for you.

2. Are brush cleaners necessary for painting models?
While it's not strictly necessary to use a brush cleaner for painting models, it can be very helpful in maintaining the quality of your brushes and extending their lifespan.
Over time, paint can build up on the bristles of a brush, making it more difficult to apply paint evenly and making the brush less effective. Using a brush cleaner can help remove this buildup and keep your brushes in good condition.
There are different types of brush cleaners available, including solvents and specialized brush cleaners. Some painters prefer to use mild soap and water to clean their brushes, while others prefer to use a brush cleaner specifically designed for the type of paint they are using.
Ultimately, whether or not you use a brush cleaner for painting models will depend on your personal preferences and the specific needs of your project. However, using a brush cleaner can be a good way to maintain the quality of your brushes and improve the overall quality of your work.

3. What accessories are needed for painting models?
The accessories needed for painting models will depend on the type of model you are painting and the painting technique you are using. Here are some general accessories that can be helpful for painting models:
1.Palette: A palette is used to mix and hold paints. A plastic or ceramic palette is recommended as it is easy to clean and won't absorb the paint.
2.Paints: Depending on the type of model you are painting, you will need different types of paint. Acrylic and enamel paints are commonly used for models. Consider what kind of army you want to play and what models appeal to you the most.
3.Thinners: Thinners are used to thin down paint for airbrushing or to clean brushes and equipment.
4.Paintbrush cleaner: This is used to clean and maintain the brushes after use.
5.Masking tape: Masking tape is used to mask off areas that you do not want to paint.
6.Sandpaper: Sandpaper is used to smooth the surface of the model before painting and to remove any imperfections.
7.Primers: Primers are used to create a smooth surface on the model and to improve the adhesion of the paint.
8.Airbrush: An airbrush can be used for more precise and detailed painting.
9.Paintbrushes: A variety of paintbrushes in different sizes and shapes are needed for painting the different areas of the model.
10.Magnifying lamp: A magnifying lamp can be used to help you see the finer details of the model when painting.
11.Water: Water is used to thin down acrylic paints and to clean the brushes and equipment.
12.Paper towels or rags: These are used to wipe off excess paint or to clean the brushes.
These are just a few of the accessories that can be useful for painting models. The specific accessories you will need will depend on the type of model you are painting and your personal preferences.
