I know it sounds strange for a Topic Title....

But...

Ages ago I found on here (I'm sure) somebody posted a nice little helpful guide for mixing Tamiya acrylics to replicate several things..

I've done a search on the site but am drawing a blank...

In the list it had suggestions for, engine grease, skin colours, blood, metal parts etc...

Can anyone help me find this useful list again!!

Paul

glad you found it....I just copied it to my files and will print it off later. This is PERFECT!!! Course, I ain't all that good at mixing paint, but making a mess is part of the fun...

thanks again...
