"Here you go - this is an airbrushable latex paint base, which is really just a very thin latex (almost water thin). I've used this stuff before, but didn't realize it's sprayable, but as thin as it is, yeah, I don't see why not.…"

"You can use latex, but the paint will be a bit thick and gloppy - it will tend to fill in fine details like lines and textures on the surface.  I've never tried to airbrush any kind of latex paint, but I do know some places sell an…"

In need of advice. (Urgent)!

Hey everybody. I need some expert advice on painting a latex build-up puppet.1. Are there any cheaper/more accessible alternatives to pros-aide and PAX paint?2. Could latex be used in place of the materials mentioned above?and3.

Paranorman Eyes

Hi All,Anybody got any info about how Paranormans Eyes work and what theyre made of?Ive watched all the featurettes I can watch and while it shows the eyes in plenty of them Im still not sure of the full workings of them. It looks like the eyelids stay in there and are hinged maybe but I cant make out how the eyeballs stay in there? it also says that the eyeballs are moved around with an exacto knife, I would have thought this would scratch the paint on the eyeballs?If anyone knows anything about them Id love to know too!!!Thanks,PaulSee More
