Nice work Mick. I might well try that technique.

Simple to do, but looks very messy to begin with. The rigger is dipped in thinners (white spirit in this case), then in the wash, and the tip of the brush touched to a corner or edge. Capillary action takes the fluid all over the place!

Just to confirm my thoughts Mick, you havent used the Dullcoat yet as the gloss finish is needed in this case to help the wash flow?

Steve.

That's right, Steve. Keeping the gloss finish helps the wash to flow. It isn't absolutely necessary, but it helps, especially with panel edges like the doors and roof sections on this model.

Thanks Mick.
