Editing Paint (section)

== History ==
In the beginning, model makers had to take paint made for other professions and use that on their minis.  Model Railroad enthusiasts would paint their tiny houses with actual house-paint, and their tiny boxcars with actual box-car paint (stolen from rail yards, of course)!  Eventually animators, mechanics, and special effects crew combined their powers to convince paint suppliers to break into the hobby business.  Soon, craft stores began filling with model paints.

Some of the earlier paint suppliers were [[Tamiya]] and [[Ral Partha]], both of which are better known for their models.
