That's a good idea. I saw some stuff at a hobby
store the other day that looked really real. I
didn't see the package, though. Oh well, I've got
lots of pastels, though, and that's good, because
I'm in need of rust for my 1/35 German BMW R75
w/side car. It's one of those Tamiya WWII models.
I was just wondering about that today, so it looks
like I found the right forum for it. Thanks.
