Old Collingwood Posted August 27, 2020 Author Share #272 Posted August 27, 2020 Evening all, some more progress today - I have decided to place a few KGL 5th Light infantry in my dio, thease were sent down along with the 5th Line regiment to bolster the members deffending the Farm, they differed from the Line regiment as they did mot wear back packs, the figures I have are un shaped on thier backs ready to take the back packs, so I have had to do some shaping to put some extensions of thier belts, quite a fiddly job requiring scraping the backs to form belt lines. After priming with Vallejo Black surface primer I then started with the Red layers (this has been darkened with dark Brown to make it more brick Red than bright Red) then I painted on the Off White belts including one in dark Brown. Time consuming but steady trying not to mess them up, OC.

Old Collingwood Posted August 29, 2020 Author Share #273 Posted August 29, 2020 "Why do flat clear coats have to be a pain in the neck and bain of my life"? Evening all - yep that subject again - I have been trying in vain to flat the finish of my Vallejo Acrylic paints uisng a bottle of Vallejo Matt clear top coat varnish - tried everything - thinned it using distilled water 40/60 as suggested, applied it in thin coats allowing drying time before re applying, even added some Vallejo Matt Medium as this is supposed to dull Vallejo items like paint and top coat - still no good the paintwork is refusing to dry anything but a satin finish. I understand certain paint colours of Vallejo tend to stay a satin colour depsite being a matt paint - namely red and blue (something about the pigments) OC. popeye the sailor and Canute 2 Quote Current builds 28mm Battle of Waterloo attack on La Haye Saint Diorama. 1/700 HMS Hood Flyhawk with PE, Resin and Wood Decking.

Egilman Posted August 29, 2020 Share #277 Posted August 29, 2020 This is why the make the gloss coats In little bottles, overall flat, and the details you want gloss are done with a Brush.... Similar technique to your highlighting, you have much more control putting gloss on a flat with a brush than flat over a gloss.... Remember gloss works by smoothing the surface to increase it reflectivity and as a result the paint has a hard time sticking to the smooth surface... Flats are by rule not smooth surfaces, so the coating you put on can bite and lay where you put it... Base coat flats, gloss up the details that need gloss... popeye the sailor, Canute, Edwardkenway and 1 other 4 Quote Current Build: F-86F-30 Sabre by Egilman - Kinetic - 1/32nd scale In the Garage: East Bound & Down, Building a Smokey & the Bandit Kenworth Rig in 1/25th scale Completed: M8A1 HST 1930 Packard Boattail Speedster M1A1 75mm Pack Howitzer F-4J Phantom II Bell H-13's P-51B/C Temporary Suspension: USS Gwin DD-433 F-104C Starfighter "Blue Jay Four" 1/32nd Scale Terminated Build: F-104C Starfighter ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Quote: "Relish Today, Ketchup Tomorrow" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks bro, yep the idea is - Im priming with Vallejo Surface Primer (supposed to be a matt product / the grey one is but the black one is slighly shiny) then the paints I use all Vallejo are supposed to be a matt paint also, so in theory I should be starting out with a flat painted figure and the flat clear coat should be just to knock down the odd shiny spot and to seal the finish - but its not working out that way, its deffo the Prussian Dark Blue thats playing up with the so called flat red a close second, and doesn't want to flat (like its saying " I want to be noticed" OC.

Roger Pellett Posted August 29, 2020 Share #282 Posted August 29, 2020 I assume that your Vallejo paint comes in the little droplet bottles. Make sure that you thoroughly shake these up. I use a wierd technique where I shake it up and down vertically actually hitting my knee on the down stroke. This violent action seems to properly mix the flatting agent.

mtaylor Posted August 29, 2020 Share #285 Posted August 29, 2020 If the paint is in a jar or can for brushing, drop a small ball-bearing or even a small nut into it before shaking. If you have an old empty spray can, make sure it's depressurized completely, punch a hole in it and use the ball from the can.
