and stick them down ,i normally paint them on the tree but obviously when you take them off your left with the original plastic colour is this the wrong way, ps do u primer your parts as well thanks again

i do it both ways, just depends on the mood i'm in at the time.

 

[lo lo kid]

ok so if u do them on what do u do with the unpainted parts just touch em up once dry

 

[The Mad Modeler]

yeah, if needed. but if you take them off with a nice sharp hobby knife then there isn't much of a spot at all if done right

i use to take them off then paint them, but then i got tired of gettin paing on my hands so now i paint it on the tree

i paint them while they r on the sprue

but when i get an airbrush il do them really nice :biggrin:

also... when i do paint them off the tree... i spread them out on a paper plate or thick cardstock. and as with anything i spray the bottom sides first.

i use spray paint as much as possible because i'm just plain lazy to clean brushes and stuff. lol

another nice thing to use is the testors paint pens

For the smaller parts, i use double sided tape on the end of a pen. then after i paint it i can hook the cap to the side of the box to let it dry, then it won't fall over. and i never use a brush except on detail. i like to mask and spray

 

[34dan]

also do u primer the small parts?

only time i would primer, is if it's the same color as the paintjob. other than that, no
