Lodizah Posted February 15, 2005 Posted February 15, 2005 Work'n on SV-51 Ivanov with alcad II paint. Is a coat of future required or can I go straight to the oil wash? Quote
HWR MKII Posted February 15, 2005 Posted February 15, 2005 When working with metallic paints its always safest to give it an acrylic clear coat. Quote
Lodizah Posted February 15, 2005 Author Posted February 15, 2005 Thanks for the quick reply. Always trying to find a shortcut to building. Hope to finish within a week. Quote

Lodizah Posted February 20, 2005 Author Posted February 20, 2005 New question. Panel line wash. Should I use a dark gray wash? I need a color that does not make the panel lines look like they are poping out too much. Quote
HWR MKII Posted February 21, 2005 Posted February 21, 2005 What color grey did you use? if you tell me that i can recommend a good wash color Quote
Lodizah Posted February 21, 2005 Author Posted February 21, 2005 The sv is nato black. But I suck at picture taking, so it looks gray. Quote
HWR MKII Posted February 21, 2005 Posted February 21, 2005 you could use straight black then maybe add a little burnt umber to it to liven it up but thats it. the lines are small enough to look ok. Quote
Lodizah Posted February 22, 2005 Author Posted February 22, 2005 (edited) I tried a brown black mix, as that is all I have now. Subtle effect (looks ok). Will try the striaght black next. Edited February 23, 2005 by Lodizah Quote
