KonaDawg Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 Hi all, Finished this last night but still working in the base. It's a great kit of my favourite WW2 tank. Happy with most of it apart from the sandbags which started off a really nice dusty sand Matt but after weathering and highlights, went glossy 🙁 Tried several Matt varnishes including micro and Tamiya. Neither worked. Will try some others later. Will work in the poor photography and display. 9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

binbrook87 Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 Great result. Looks the business. 👍 For a flat Varnish I use Vallejo premium matt Varnish.... very very chalky matt.... https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://www.amazon.co.uk/Vallejo-Premium-Color-60-Paint/dp/B00A2UW8HQ&ved=2ahUKEwjm5tmwk-vnAhUUHcAKHbcJDSEQFjAAegQIAhAB&usg=AOvVaw33oAajoAImWRm99_3B0Hbw 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt P Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 Ditto to that. Vallejo premium matt is excellent. Nice buils by the way 👍 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
