wwwd Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 I'm seriously looking into these things now, but trying to get a bargain on eBay as they're pretty expensive! Just in case I get lucky, can anyone recommend what paint to use on these diecast models? these are wicked, are they difficult to do?Easy... White Spirit and a lighter That's the spirit.

Simon69 Posted November 13, 2010 Share Posted November 13, 2010 i recently just lost an auction for an Escort Van Diarama it was fab looking to and gutted i lost out. Its inspired me to have a go of my Own and ive recently just orderd a MK4 escort which i plan to turn into a Van. Ive researched how to do all the work and its very interesting i cant wait to get started. as far as i am aware about your question on Spraying as long as you use light coats regular halfords paints will do the trick however i plan to use Tamiya paints, and Milliput for the fab work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
