Useful suggestions, James. I knew all of that (at least in theory), since I've
been a model builder since the 1960s (although, back in '67 I was more of a
Stick It Together Quickly kind of builder... :) ). I've always avoided the use
of airbrushes, though, lacking the fume extraction equipment I'd want to feel
safe using them. For people properly set up, though, you can do some
_astonishing_ stuff with transparent finishes.

Hmm. Not until you mentioned, no! :) I'd never even heard of the stuff, in
fact. Mind you, my only computer printer is a dot matrix one, so I'm not too
likely to do any printing as opposed to painting in the _near_ future, but it's
something to keep in mind. Thanks!
Regards,
Norbert Black
