I'd like to help. What can I do?

THANKS!Surprised

Honestly, the best way to help is to let me know you find it useful - and let others know about it as well. The more people who use it, the more likely it is to get right - as long as they report bugs.

If you would like to do more and have a complete or nearly complete paint line - let me know. I am always looking for additional data points to help expand the collection or to include a more accurate set of averaged colors. The process for you is nearly free (other than a short ammount of time and a few drops of paint), and it will be helping the community as a whole (warm fuzziesEmbarassed).

If that isn't quite enough, buy our products.  100% of the proceeds go to support this site and the Color Match tools.  I want to provide quality products which gamers and collectors find useful at good prices, where the money goes to a cause that they also find useful.  Win, win for everyone involved. 

If you would like to do even more - you are my hero. While I do not do this for a living, I would gladly appreciate any donations or bribes you might be offering. It goes a long way to keep the wife happy when I mention this night out was paid for by that silly thing you always see me messing with.Wink

 
Better "Paper" Models

Paper models can be very useful, but even with thick card stock - they don't tend to be very durable.  If I have a paper model that I want to modify or use a lot, I make it out of sheet styrene (plasticard).

Print the model out like normal and than you can either glue the pattern on the card or use carbon paper to transfer it to the card.  Cut out the parts  and glue it up.  Ignore the fold lines - it is normally easier to just glue the edges together than to try and get a good fold with the plastic.  Also, the tabs are not needed either.

You can use various epoxy putties to add additional details and also use normal plastic model parts or scraps of styrene.  Prime and paint like any other plastic model.  The end result is very durable and will last a lot longer than paper models getting the same amount of use.
