I have recently started using watercolour paints to do washes in the same way I previously used oils (idea came from Awsome paint job and several other miniature painters) basically works same way as an oil wash only you use water instead of white (mineral) spirits and its completly dry in an hour at the most Anybody else tried this ? __________________ http://s508.photobucket.com/user/sashepherd3/library/?sort=3&page=0

Have not tried this but I will give it a go--thanks for the tip. I guess it holds ok when you overcoat it with pledge [klear] or varnish? __________________ Ted pinterest pg. of scale models/dioramas: http://www.pinterest.com/intrstinpintrst/awesome-scale-models/

Yes varnish or Klear over top is all it needs I have used both varnishes and Klear over top without problems Stephen __________________ http://s508.photobucket.com/user/sashepherd3/library/?sort=3&page=0

I saw APJ using watercolours as washes but I am not sure the colour is as intense as will oils? __________________ Cheers Andy Current Build: 1/48 Revell F14D Tomcat Current Build: Revell 1/48 ME410 Hornisse

I've not really noticed much difference Watercolour does dry very matt which can make blacks and dark browns look grey, but this has always gone away when varnished for me. Stephen __________________ http://s508.photobucket.com/user/sashepherd3/library/?sort=3&page=0
