Re: [OT]-ish : Figure painting question - Craft store Paints

Hi,

I've had no problems with them.  However, most of them aren't glossy -- 
they dry flat.	I usually use the cheap craft paints for bases and 
dry brushing, then I finish with the 'expensive' kind.	

On the other hand, I only really paint starships, I don't know what the
effect would be on other types of miniatures.  YMMV.  *shrug*
