Plastic Model Mojo Podcast 56: The Dr. Strangebrush Files, Volume 1

Plastic Mojo Podcasts &
Front of My Ass Productions

Well, Dave and Mike, aka the Mojo Brothers, did it again and had me on the Plastic Model Mojo Podcast for a wide-ranging discussion on things near and dear to my heart—airbrushes, airbrushing, and scale modeling. We also got into the basics of decalling and the use of clear coats and decal solvents–fun stuff.

Of note is the discussion starting at 00:55:00 on the use of Liquitex Flow-Aid and Slow-Dri to tame acrylic paints when the environment is hot, arid, lacking sufficient humidity, and/or geographically elevated versus sunny sea-level-Seattle. In these more challenging conditions, a couple of extra tricks go a long way to making acrylic paints behave. 

A list of the approximate times that specific topics are covered is provided below.
