Dakka, my beloved Dakka.

I just spent almost 8 hours on one of my best models to date. Painting a Plague Lord for my clan Pestilens, the thing came out beautiful for my standards. So i did the usual method of matte coating the model , I sprayed my matte coat and let the sucker sit overnight to dry, I woke early this morning eagerly awaiting the dried and finished model to show to you guys, only to see the entire thing RUINED. The matter varnish left little white specks all over the model, completely destroying it.

Dakka, I want to cry right now, help me!

Valspar Matte Coat spray, This is the first time this has happened and it's what i usually use for my models. The weather and everything was perfect too.

It's pretty new, i've had this can for a little under a month.

It wasn't too humid, it had just rained though.

It was about 55 degrees out, but they were sprayed inside.

I ran it under water this morning after i noticed it, hoping it was jsut like a dust or something left behind. It looked a bit better for like an hour, then it dried.

So for anyone still listening, I tried the zip kicker, and it seems to have workd a little bit, im gonna hit it again later and see what happens.

actually, i tried a few methods, the zip kicker worked a bit, but then i tried the gloss then matter method and that seemed to work.



there is the model as it stands now.
