Cool, glad you weren't bothered. It was more my tone than the opinion that bothered me.

Aqueous Hobby Color and Tamiya are my best paints for spraying and I go with Vallejo for brushing, except their whites, which I don't like at all. For white I use titanium white from Schmincke Akademie Acryl range which has tons of pigment and is nice and creamy. I never thought of using it as an undercoat for missiles though, interesting!

I prefer spirit based paint for 'panel-lining' figures (and everything else) because of its lower surface tension and crucially, the way you can wipe it off leaving the most subtle finish. Acrylic drying time is just too fast for me in that application.

Good luck with your move. I'm refurnishing my flat atm, waiting for my new desk to arrive next week and meanwhile building IKEA kits of 1:1 scale furniture. It's warm weather here for that sort of work.
