nheather Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 After some recommendations for washable white wash for tanks and armoured vehicles, most likely on the eastern front. The stuff I after is that which you can spray on and then weather using water, damp cotton buds etc. Which makes in your experience are easiest to use and/or give the best results.

LotusArenco Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 How about something like designers gouache? Never tried it myself as a whitewash, but I do use it in my homebrew panel line washes. Mart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When first applied the tank would have been pretty white, but it isn't very robust and starts to wear off or run off in the elements.

LotusArenco Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 Apologies, I shouldn’t have used making a wash with gouache as an example. On 10/5/2019 at 10:44 AM, nheather said: have pretty good quite opaque coverage Gouache is one of the most opaque water colour type paints available and can be reworked back into a liquid form after it dries, much like kids poster paint or that nasty distemper they used to paint ceilings with. (Isn’t distemper what they used to winter camo tanks?). Artists quality gouache is highly and finely pigmented and you should be able to thin it down to shoot through an airbrush, once dry I’d imagine you’ll be able to spritz it with water to get the weathered whitewash appearance you’re after. As I said, never tried it myself, but I’m thinking that gouache will act in small scale very much like its full scale whitewash counterpart.

nheather Posted October 6, 2019 Author Share Posted October 6, 2019 I’m thinking of the Mig Ammo 00024 washable white - but wondering if that is the best stuff or should I be considering alternatives. Cheers, Nigel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
