Do you guys usually go thru and paint all the other parts then start glueing them together? Also, I went to walmart and bought a testors airbrush, its pretty darn cool. Have a couple questions about mixing the thinner/paint, it says 3 parts thinner to 2 parts gloss paint, how exactly do i measure that? It came with a little pipette, do i use that to measure? so for every 3 pipettes full of thinner i add 2 pipettes full of paint? Another question, do you usually brush paint the smaller pieces of kit? or do you use the airbrush for that too?? Thanks for the help!

Hi, let me try to answer some of your questions;
I first get the parts of the trees, taking away mold lines and the painting them, wait a bit and glue them
the pipette should do the trick , although some avid air brushers prefer to dot with a little spoon, see as you like , as long as you have your ratio, should be fine
I personally brush the little parts, and details. The brushpainting is quick, clean and you don't have to mask anything.
I hope I have helped you out a bit ?
