Then ya can do some things like tie a rag on Finky's tail.	So lets talk a little about paint. We used old school Flat Enamel. First thing ta do is the Black line. You can use a combination of sharp felt tip markers and flat black paint.	Don't worry about makin' yer lines thick cuz yer gonna go back over them with the other colors any way	Make sure ya let the black dry really good so it don't blend in with the other colors that you'll be layin' down.

In fact Testors or Model Master (# 1960) makes a Clear Flat Lacquer OverCoat that ya can spray in between coats of paint to seal each color.	The Clear Lacquer also seems to speed up the dryin' process. Only use the Clear Lacquer if'in yer using enamel or oil paint. DON'T USE THA LACQUER WITH THE NEW ACRYLIC WATER BASED ENAMELS CUZ THEY WON'T WERK !!! DANGER	You can see that we detailed our little wartz and bumps by using a little darker green. Ya can either add a little black or blue to the green to get that effect. And if'in ya want to highlight Finky's skin ya can also add yellow to the green in places.	Well anyway just have yerself some fun and don't forget ta send in yer Finks fer the world ta see.  In fact while yer here go on to the Voting area ta see wot other folks have done so far.
