how thick is your primer at the armour plating? If you don't want the etching to be to visible/sharp edged, could it be possible to etch, and have another layer of primer on top, or would that make the etching invisible after painting ...

Jack those are Schmincke pastels, artists quality, as the "grain" is much finer

I prime everything with either Tamiya rattlecan or Tamiya surface primer. The latter to touch up or for small items which I build/shape off model, and add later You could add thinner/water to your paints, which is what I do even when using a brush. You might need an extra layer, but it doesn't look sluggish. The deck of my model Tribal Destroyers are painted by hand with Vallejo Air mixture 1 prt Prussian Blue (71 109), 4 prt Steel Blue (71 087), 13 prt Blue Grey (71 115). On top of that I use White, brown, red, yellow, cobalt blue and black pastels, applied with a small hard bristled brush (pigs hair) round straight tipped. I found that the colour is still to dark, so next build I will have it mixed with 10 - 25% light grey to tone it to scale example: the superstructures B-turret platform
