I use createx and fascolor. Can't tell difference between, but both need letting down with either water or specific thinners
Practicing is good on the inside of an empty pop bottle cut in half. Coke bottle safe good as they tend to have nooks and crannies so you get to practice dealing with detail.
Liquid mask is great, but use rcs stuff. I once tried vallejo and it was awful - wouldn't cut and felt very rubbery - even a new blade tended to catch and pull. The rcs is really easy, but give it at least 3 coats or it doesn't remove easily. I go for 4 coats and it is great. I also have a vinyl cutter which is great for designs and logos etc..
then, just have fun...
