Washing is thing wich can save your model after bad painting, like with my T-26T
Before wash
After wash
What about glossy decals, put under it clear acryl and on it mat clear acryl and it's all you need to do
Ah okay. Regarding the wash though, how did you do it? Did you paint over the entire model with thinned out paint?Originally Posted by peter.pl

You are taking 10 parts of clear water and 2 parts of black paint (you can give 1 fart of brown if you want) Than you are puting that at all model, after hour paint will go to all holes and water will go to the sky
Basically yes, you thin out a darker paint of the same colour with water and run it over with a big brush. It hugs the contours and raised surfaces giving it definition. I don't think its something that is specifically for saving "bad paintjobs" I think it looks good over all as a middle step to a finished model/miniature.
You have an interesting way of putting things.You are taking 10 parts of clear water and 2 parts of black paint (you can give 1 fart of brown if you want) Than you are puting that at all model, after hour paint will go to all holes and water will go to the sky
Washes serve a number of purposes. Because the model is scale, certain things like shadows don't look right. The wash emphasises (sp??) crevices and shadows that otherwise wouldn't be there because in scale they're too small.I don't quite understand "washing". Do you paint over the entire model with the thinned out paint or just the crevices? Also, is it easier to paint a model once it is completely put together or should I paint them individually? Also, how does one make the decals less glossy? I'm going over to my local hobby shop today to see if they have anything interesting (most likely a tank or fighter plane). Haven't built any models in ages and when I stopped I still couldn't paint if my life depended on it.
In addition, a wash is a good way of showing where the usual crap gathers on any vehicle that spends a lot of time outdoors. Oil in particular. A black wash gathers in the usual spots that oil/diesel runs into when spilt around the engine.
You can wash with thinned down paint, or (these days) you can buy premade washes - which is what I do. Citadel make a set for Games Workshop and they're very good. They dry quickly and they're matt.
It's hard to me to talk in english so my post can be strangeYou must understand that
I understood what you were saying completely. It was just very...lyrical. No worries, pal.It's hard to me to talk in english so my post can be strange
Thanks for the responses. Makes more sense to me now. I just bought a Revell 1/48 F-18F Super Hornet kit. Should be interesting to see how it turns upIs there any difference if I prime it on the tree vs. priming after I put it together? Again, thanks for the help.

Hey Dling, its been a long time since I did an aircraft, but I seem to remember that priming after assembly lets you see spots where you need filler etc.
Cheers
Hay Peter that came out grat man. Your wash did the trick. I found this for you Peter I hope it helps. Hay is that an RPM or Zvezda kit you have there. If so I have a lot of those RPM kits. Squadron use to sale that kit real cheap ($4.00), so I got a conversion kit so I can build lots of different T-26 tank types. This link may help you out on "Peter".

That's RPM **** did for relax
@Janick & I-Tankman
Thanks for your photos.
I think Tankman said it... One needs a lot of shelves! Due to the work, time, skills (and money) one have put into models, they (ore at least most of them) are worth to be displayed properly. One'll need a lot of space and walls... even for the small scaled ones.
Well, nevertheless, it's a lot of fun to regard the models shown in this thread. A virtual shelf.
Here's some rolling thunder for yah.
Armored Firetruck in Iraq. Got to love this one.
I have more but I'll let you all talk a bit frist.
