Am I doing something wrong? Can I do something different in the application to give a smoother look? Or do I just need to overbrush every time, or use different shading techniques if I want a clean finish?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/228128/531986.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/228128/531986.page GMT Noob wash question.
If there's an area with too much wash on it, simply take a dry brush, and suck some of it up.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/228128/531988.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/228128/531988.page GMT Noob wash question. http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/228128/531991.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/228128/531991.page GMT Noob wash question.

This is not too much of a problem, as I overbrush the original colour to smooth it out, but while this does the trick fine on smaller models, it's hard to get a clean smooth look using washes on larger models like tanks.

Adding floor wax used to help perfectly with the previous type of washes , not sure if it work with new one , never tried yet.
I added some to my flesh wash, not only does it sink to the part intended, it also form a protective coat ,

and not to mention my minis smells good like dish soaps.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/228128/532008.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/228128/532008.page GMT Re:Noob wash question. http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/228128/532014.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/228128/532014.page GMT Noob wash question. GW washes and their older ones is that the "surface tension" that used to cause problems with older Ink colours isnt really an issue with the new ones. The new washes really flow better, cover better, and gives a more overall better end result.

What i suggest you do though, is try out different techniques. Try watered-down Ink colors, try the new washes, try watered-down new washes, and also try both kinds using a tiny drop whatever liquid you use for doing dishes.

Remember its always best to try new stuff on plastic/metal model pieces that you have no intension of using. So don't go haywire on your actual model when trying new things.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/228128/532247.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/228128/532247.page GMT
