Ijineda Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 Hi, may I suggest some steps which will likely improve your model? First of all, you should cover the whole model with one or two coats of clear gloss varnish before applying the decals. When decalling is done, apply another coat of gloss, then apply some weathering, e.g. oil colours. These will help to bring out the details even more. As a final step, cover the model with some coats of clear satin varnish to give a realistic appearance. That way, the decals will not stand out that much. Hope this helps! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you, yes I know the technic but when you brush paint, it is not easy to put 3or 4 more layer of varnish Alain 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the rewards are worth far more than that! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
