Advice needed for paint

Post by Razor17019 » Tue Aug 28, 2007 8:15 pm

I am working on my diorama for the contest. I am a novice when it comes to this stuff. I used Woodland Scenics Plaster Cloth to create a terrain feature. So, there it it all white and plastery waiting for paint.

Questions to the experts out there:
What paint works best with this plaster cloth?
What paint is easiest to work with?
What paint is the least expensive to buy and where is best place to buy it?

(Okay- I used up all my questions for the year!)

Any help will be appreciated!

Razor, I like to use acrylic paint (like Anita's) b/c its cheap and flat and comes in many colors. You should be able to find it at walmart, I get mine from hobby lobby 8)
