Mentorship

As I may have mentioned in the past regarding this project it is not necessarily that easy to find a mentor with experience and expertise to help you along. Perhap the closest I have come to this so far was being able to discuss the model I am making with the owner of the small hobby store in which I purchased my paints and brushes from. While I was at the store I was given advice as to what the best brands of supplies would be for my needs. After discussing the topic of paints he told Denver and I that testors enamel model paint would probably serve us the best, as he had been using it for many years with good results. He was also able to give us advice about painting and taping in order to get the best results. Denver and I also learned about model specific paint brushes and were shown which brushes would best suite or needs. The time that I spent at this hobby shop helped me learn about what types of supplies are best for different projects and I can get the most out of my model.
