I am in need of how you all do those awesome paint jobs on the foamies! I am new to Phlatboyz and I have been just using regular paint. Does not do my models justice. I just learned about the Walmart finger paint and have tried it and like it better than model masters and the others. I see all those fancy paint jobs with the nice clean cut graphics and lines.....HOW IS THAT DONE EXACTLY???

I would appreciate any and all help]]> 5 Help identify a plane Fri, 28 Oct 2011 03:52:27 +0000 http://www.phlatforum.com/xenforo/threads/help-identify-a-plane.2510/ http://www.phlatforum.com/xenforo/threads/help-identify-a-plane.2510/ invalid@example.com (7up) 7up
