As discussed at our last meeting, we decided to have the Model Paints discussion that was originally planned for our 6/10/20 meeting.
If you are interested in participating here are some of the questions we will be discussing:

(1) How many bottles of commercial model paint do you have?
(2) How many bottles of self-mixed custom color model paint do you have?
(3) How many bottles of left over thinned model paint (for airbrushing) do you have?
(4) How many brands of model paint do you have? (example: Model Master Enamel and Model Master Acrylic would count as 2 brands)
(5) What is your favorite paint for airbrushing and hand painting?
(6) What is your LEAST favorite paint for airbrushing and hand painting?
(7) What individual paint color do you have the most of?
(8) What is your favorite individual paint color? (example: I have never found an adequate replacement for my favorite good old Humbrol Enamel Track Color)
(9) What is the oldest bottle of usable paint that you still have? (anyone still have any of those Testors small square bottles with the 12 cent price tag?)
(10) Do you have any favorite paint techniques, tips or tools you would like to share with the group?
