Hi there, a few days ago I bought one of those great HS of Christian Bale, this is the one I am talking about:
the head is not in my power yet, but it will be in a couple of weeks. Ok, so I was reading in this thread how to paint the face:

And in this other, how to paint the eyes:

Ok. At this point I have some issues trying to get the recomended materials. First, I can't find anywhere those:
- Tamiya Flat White
- Tamiya Buff
- Tamiya Clear Red
- Tamiya Flat Base
I can find those Tamiya color, but only for sale on eBay from Hong Kong, but I don't wat to buy from there because it takes too long to arrive to my country (Chile). And of course I can't find them here in Chile neither. I go to stores and try to ask for something like "acrylic paint on water", but they don't know what I am talking about. Maybe I am not translating this well. So questions:
1) What is the "generic" or "no-brand" name for Tamiya Colors??
2) What other brands can I buy instead of Tamiya. And what are the color equivalence.. ie buff= yellow something?? (in the other brand)..
Other question which is on my mind is the one about what the autor of the tutorial uses something called "Future Floor Polish".. acording to the website of of SC Johnson this product was renamed to "Pledge".. and it says it is wax for the floor Just to be clear.. "future floor polish" is that thing we use to clean and shine the floor??? In that case this is the one equivalent here in Chile???:
It says it has no color and it is SC Johnson's family.
Another thing is, how do I paint the hair?? using acrylic paint?? Or what kind of paint?
And finally, what colors (name of colors) do you think Elvis1976 utilized to obtain this :
Thanks.
