Hi,
Painting with Lacqure requires very special handeling so that you don't endup with a blob of melted plastic!
The method I use, and find it VERY good, I found on the web:
(There is no way I could explane this technique better)
www.modelersite.com
Look under Archive, then Techniques.
There are 3 articles on painting:
"How to paint with lacquers"
"Painting, the key to plastic modeling?"
"Painting, One more technique"
Sorry that I can't post a direct link, I just don't know how!!!
Good luck, and please keep us all updated on your progress!
