I got two bottles of Testors from Tim (Tidoco2000) and I used some on an old model for testing and it really is amazing stuff!:D

I just got talked into trying Dupli Color primer by Deadmilkman/Wes. Except I didn't buy it at an art store. We get it at an auto parts store just down from the gaming store! Its great, but has lots of fumes. (more than my old primer)

Testor's Dull Coate is great stuff, but you have to be a little careful with it. You can't let the can get hot and then use it later, and you can't use it if it is humid at the time. It will frost or come out cloudy typically in both cases. I ended up going to Chicago GD with no final sealant on my entry because I finished painting late and was afraid it was too humid.

I use Dupli Color too, thanks to the brushthralls (i have to buy at an automotive store also) Its great stuff. Testors Dull Coat is the best around imo

Balsa wood, plasticard, modeling epoxy, stuff like that. There is a store called Hobby Lobby in oklahoma that has art supplies and model supplies in the same store, pretty handy. Tell Cheap Joe i would buy online though, because its a hassle to get to the Hobby Lobby in Tulsa, 45 min drive.
