So I use a quick layer of matte varnish to give the subsequent layers of paint a better grip.

I also started with scale models, and have noticed a lot of techniques that are so common place there, haven't made it to miniatures for whatever reason. Even though the work brilliantly!<br /><br />This has also got me to thinking about an issue I've been having with Vallejo Urethane Primer. I love most things about it, but I have noticed the paint doesn't grip as well as it should, and can rub off fairly easily. I may still be too heavy handed with it, or it could just be the white version but I think a quick spray with varnish would help avoid that. Mostly it happens after I've let my mini sit for a few days between painting sessions. Maybe someone can add advice for me with the primer, but I think this may just be one other reason to layer in clear coats.<br /><br />I use a lot of Future, both as a thinner and prior to oil washes, but I think it would work here too. It's quite durable, and although glossy, I've not had any issues with paint smearing like one would expect from other glosses.J.C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03209857872426325631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8171268821741954025.post-18314772186789042422013-04-06T15:36:41.889-07:002013-04-06T15:36:41.889-07:00The Vid covering this would be nice. :O) The Vid covering this would be nice. :O) Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18217545346187313413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8171268821741954025.post-64468024086932644762013-04-06T09:22:28.632-07:002013-04-06T09:22:28.632-07:00As with any technique it's part of a process. ...As with any technique it's part of a process. You gather information by research and asking experienced users, you then apply these techniques. Once learnt, you will inevitably go through your own testing phase to see what you like and what you don't. In the end you'll have a similar technique but more tailored to your own person style. This is usually the painful process we all go through but in the end it's worth it. What people need to understand is there's usually never an open and shut case with any technique, no matter how many people you ask and that developing your own specialized technique is part of the fun that is our hobby :)<br /> KillaMini's https://www.blogger.com/profile/12697722590921020259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8171268821741954025.post-79089164174232067522013-04-06T08:59:09.219-07:002013-04-06T08:59:09.219-07:00I agree with you what you typed Chung...!!!!

I am a scale modeller who love it to paint also wargaming / Sci-Fi minis...I think it is not a bad Idea to watch a little bit to the left and to the right and try to discover the scale modelling world because there are a lot of good tips / answers for ppl who paint wargaming / Sci-Fi miniatures / vehicles. And there are a lot of good products outside what you can use for a good chipping and dusting or how to paint realistic tracks / wheels.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01517941339399716557noreply@blogger.com
