I am attempting to get a glaze look with GW ard'coat...and it appeared to work..but over 24 hours the ard'coat lost its shine....did I use it wrong? or is the product just bad?

Thanks

Other advice would be how to make easy water effects for small puddles without buying a chemistry kit.

I am also curious about this before I buy this product...

Vallejo water effects is best for puddles water gore etc. You can color it with paint and it will dry transparent.

Where would you get this?

Is there any other products?

Thanks

apply matte varnish ontop of it (i prefer to stay away from sprays)

I personally living in the UK had to mail order it, because I find Vallejo anything to be difficult to come by, a hobby modelling store may have it but an online vendor 9 times out of 10 will have it stocked.

I use PVA glue on all my lenses, wet/shiny bits. One or 2 coats of PVA and its done

Any brush on gloss varnish will work. I use Future myself. It is called Klear in the UK I beleive.

Its likely just grease or dust particles in the air getting at them. It happens to mine all the tiny, particularly my Nids who have glossy carapaces and if I leave them out they dull slightly. Try giving them a wipe with a dusting cloth or tissue.

Just to share. The Army Painter Dip works well in this case...it stays shiny and is brown like the mud.
