Painting over it will obscure detail, so thats not a great option, and its not quite so bad that I would want to strip the whole model, so what can i do just to reduce the glossy effect of the ink?

Thanks!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/565858/6299712.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/565858/6299712.page GMT Removing shiney effect from too much ink. http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/565858/6299760.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/565858/6299760.page GMT Removing shiney effect from too much ink. http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/565858/6300145.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/565858/6300145.page GMT Removing shiney effect from too much ink.

I was just asking in case there is a specific kind i needed, I assumed the same thing used on furniture may not be suitable for little plastic miniatures.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/565858/6300714.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/565858/6300714.page GMT Removing shiney effect from too much ink. have been appropriated for modeling use (Future floor polish as a varnish and/or wash base and Minwax Polyshade dips spring to mind).

For your purposes, though, I'd get matte acrylic varnish - either buy an aerosol can to spray or a small bottle to brush on. Many, if not most, paint manufacturers also put out varnishes, so you can likely find them wherever paints are sold - art/craft stores for brush-ons from Liquitex, Golden, and the craft paint brands, or home improvement stores (or sections of larger stores, like Walmart) for spray cans from Krylon, Rustoleum, etc.

My personal favorite - Testors Dullcote - is actually a lacquer, but acrylics are generally the weapon of choice for varnishing models. A thin coat or two of any decent matte varnish will knock that shine right down with minimal effort.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/565858/6300920.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/565858/6300920.page GMT Re:Removing shiney effect from too much ink.

I'm pretty sure Lhamian is a gloss Varnish

You are mixing it up with 'ardcoat, the gloss varnish.
Lahmian Medium serves three purposes:
1.) As matte varnish
2.) As protection for decals, hiding the glossy rim
3.) As expensive thinner for Citadel paints.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/565858/6302171.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/565858/6302171.page GMT Removing shiney effect from too much ink.
It also works wonders for covering decals. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/565858/6302202.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/565858/6302202.page GMT Removing shiney effect from too much ink.

Cheers pal, any recomendations on where to get suitable varnish?


Testers dull cote from your nearest modelling shop.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/565858/6302227.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/565858/6302227.page GMT Removing shiney effect from too much ink. (this comes up about every six weeks).

For spray on, the leader seems to be testors dullcoat in a can.

For brush on, just about any "art store" varnish is decent, although I like liquitex.

My favorite however is testors clear acryl, matte. I airbrush it on, but it can be sprayed on.

If you want more info than already in this thread - I would sincerely suggest a search...

best of luck!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/565858/6303419.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/565858/6303419.page GMT
