I've been advised to prime my model, base it and then wash it two different washes to get into the recesses.

What I can't quite figure out is how to wash the model. I find that when I do quite a thick wash the wash pools up on the surfaces and leaves quite large globs of discoloration.

Would you suggest to continue to do this and resurface the surfaces with the base colour or simply apply the wash onto to the deepest recesses. If I do the latter, I'm scared I might miss some bits.

However, in general, my advice is to use a very large brush and apply the wash liberally, a large flat tipped brush makes it easier to apply and manipulate the wash without it pooling where you don't want.

Personally I apply a large amount of wash with a big brush and then wipe the brush on a tissue and remove the excess wash from the model as needed. One of the enemies of washing is splotchiness caused by the wash drying on the model and then you passing over it a 2nd time with your brush, if you apply more wash than you need and remove the excess like I described, the wash is less likely to dry on the model because you manipulate it to where to want it.

Another technique is to only apply the wash to the crevices rather than to the entire surface. In that case, use a finer brush and just apply it more carefully to the crevices.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/587016/6671933.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/587016/6671933.page GMT
Thanks a lot man, I really appreciate that help. Maybe once I have finished the model I am working on at the moment, I could post it here to show you my result.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/587016/6671958.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/587016/6671958.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/587016/6671967.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/587016/6671967.page GMT
