iwishicouldfinishmodels Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 they look nice, I've been figure painting myself recently maybe a coat of matte varnish is in order on the figures? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lipkicker Posted July 29, 2015 Author Share Posted July 29, 2015 Yes , I thought that they looked a bit glossy . do you think it would be ok to go over the gloss with a matt varnish 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iwishicouldfinishmodels Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 yeah, I find tamiya paint can dry glossy sometimes, especially paint I've had inn my collection for longer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badder Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 I hate it when matt paints dry gloss! Bad mixing is the cause, although I have a tin of 'matt' black which refuses to be matt no matter how much I stir it! I suspect it was filled with 'coal black' by mistake! lol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badder Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 ps... I like the grass and the gravel. Not sure about the walls though. Have you thought of using plastic sheet and carving brickwork into it with a scalpel? It's laborious work, but you can scrape individual bricks back and make the wall uneven too. Then of course, you can make it easier and cover the majority of the wall with 'plaster'. I just glue fine grade sandpaper to the wall, and cut it to expose the edges and tops of walls where the brickwork is damaged. Also, I'd build up the ground with a bit of polyfilla and make it uneven. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Badder Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 BTW someone suggested Galeria Varnishes. I bought some from the art section at The Range, 250mL for £7.99. It sprays well without thinning and the matt varnish dries flat matt, even when sprayed over gloss. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
