take the "easy bake questions" (hah):

"any impact on paint lifespan?"

None that I've noticed. I started doing this in...ummm...1985??? 1986???
No noticeable flaking, etc.

"any impact on paint colour?"

In general I've used armor vehicle colors, WWII and Modern. It might
darken it **a tad**, but hardly anything you can notice, especially if
you are doing other colors later, or drybrushing of weathering and the
like.

"any info on how different paint types behave - oil based, water based,
enamels, any inks or clearcoats?"

I've used "model paint" (would that be enamel?), oil-based model paint
and water based model paint without any difficulty. No inks that I can
recall. No clearcoats, so can't help you there either.

I learned this method from GHQ at a convention years ago. They had a
brochure as well. Maybe this is something they post one their website
now?

1. Flak Magnet: If I haven't duly attributed the source on my
stargrunt.ca page, please let me know. I like to give credit where
credit is due.

2. Thanks for the info on white metal melting temps

3. I'll post the easy-bake method sometime soon on stargrunt.ca. I do
have a few questions:
any impact on paint lifespan?
any impact on paint colour?
any info on how different paint types behave - oil based, water based,
enamels, any inks or clearcoats?

4. I'd love to help out Mike by making a 'how to drybrush video' or
picture series. If anyone wishes to do up some pics of a stage by
stage, I can put them into a nice article with attribution on
stargrunt.ca. I'm just overloaded at work (working through the
weekend) or I'd break out a mini and try to illustrate the technique.

5. Keep the painting and modeling tips coming.

6. GW does a book on making wargames terrain - it covers some painting
topics and is a great way to make either fancy terrain or simpler,
cheaper stuff. The 'green kitchen sponge' hedgerows are awesome and
cheap, for one example. They even look good with a bit of (dare I say
it) drybrushing with a lighter green to finish them off. Buy the book
- you won't be disappointed -> GWers build nice looking scenics and
the advice is very generic.

Excellent technique video for drybrushing\
