Heres my grocery list. These are very common modeling materials found right at the grocery store. If you can think of anything else I forgot, add to the list [:)]
I add just one small drop of Jet-Dry to acrylic paint for airbrushing or otherwise. It breaks the surface tension and changes the whole experience of acrylic painting for me. YMMV. I can’t use acrylics without it. [B)] It’s like soap but a little better. Probably like retarder but cheaper.
Modeling clay
White clauk-crush it up into powered and add little white paint for winter schemes works great.
Twessers
Pastels for wethering,or clauk and add just a little lenseed oil then let dry.
Whites car wash or dawn liquid to clean your model before putting it together.Digger
A couple of 6-packs of Busch Lite. After drinking them you don’t get upset with your mistakes while working on your model.[;)] Of course, if you didn’t drink them you probably wouldn’t make those mistakes. [:D]
The supermarket is my hobbyshop.[:D] Of coarse, my list gets edited down quite a bit by my wife when she gets the idea that I’m not buying houshold goods to be used on the house.[(-D]
She asked why we buy floorwax by the case when we have a no-wax floor, and why I have three bottles of Mr. Clean in the basement yet the basement hasn’t been cleaned since Harry Truman was president.
