paints in the late 1960’s led to several ventures into water-based model and craft paints. While acceptable to the craft market, these products did not work well for the finishes required by modelers and tended to obscure the fine details on scale models. In view of this, several formulas of water-based paints for the model builder were de- veloped in the intervening years. While some worked well when brushed on, they had a propensity to clog air brush- es. Others were easily airbrushed but proved to be unstable once opened, having limited shelf lives.

The colors remain stable even when thinned, and when applied directly from their containers have excellent opacity. Brush or airbrush touch ups yield excellent results with the touch up layer leveling to blend seamlessly with the base coat. To put production samples of the
paint to the test on a number of differ- ent materials they were used to finish a church and grave yard modeling proj- ect for an O scale traction layout. A laser-cut BTS Rural Church consisting of basswood, thin plywood, stripwood and cardstock became the focal piece of the project. In addition to the wood and card parts, the kit also featured several die-cast metal and resin parts. The vault and grave stones are made from a BCH injection-molded plastic O scale Grave Yard Kit.
