Burdick's Freight Dock FOS Scale Models

[MASIGMON]

Karl,
I have been following your Burdick's Build.  I have a few of questions about the paint if you would be kind enough to answer.  I can get Duncan without any problem.  Is there a plus to using the Duncan paints over other craft paints.
When you started the painting process

Light Gray is it Duncan or A & I or Floquil (DRIFTWOOD/GRIME/CN17GRAY)
LIGHT Blue is it Duncan?
White Duncan?

If there is an upside to using Duncan I would like to order the paint & have it ready when I start my build of the kit.  Look forward to your answer

Hi Dave:

Thanks. Yeah I just thought I'd try it and it worked great. Shininess is on underside of roof and can't be seen unless you turn model upside down and look hard.

Hi Mike:

No plus to using Duncan. It was just a different color I had around. I used a combination Of Duncan #OS48 Wedgewood Blue and FolkArt #402 Light Blue.

Where do you get your Duncan paints?

The Gray iis Apple Barrel #20526 Country Gray for dry-brushing. A&I is used over finished paint before dry-brushing.

Hope that helped.

Karl,
The Freight Dock finish looks perfect.  Very Clean & natural (not rundown) weathering.
The Structure looks very Small Town USA were everything in the little town comes & goes via rail using this little structure
 
I found Duncan on E-bay.  bargainbobstore offers DUNCAN OSKIT-1 12 colors for $34.74.  If Duncan was the new craft paint that everyone was going to use I was going to order a set to try.   

What is your next build going to be
As always looking forward to fit

I do have a question
Before you apply any acrylics to a basswood wall do you prime the wall with a Floquil product such as Driftwood/CN17/Earth or our you using something different these days

Thanks

Hi Mike:

Naw I don't prime just paint the walls the color I want them. I mostly use hardware store sprays now. Found several good colors. The new build FOS Methias Metal Spring & Wire. See photos under it in Kitbuilding. Used primer white windows, doors and trim. and primer red oxide for walls. Wil;l use the Applebarrel gray for dry-brushing.

I believe Duncan is used by the ceramic artists.
