Sealing Pastels

Yep. Sure will. Most people don't seal over pastels at all as the effect isusually destroyed by applying a top coat.

Just don't touch the kit, or let dust settle on it.

Nothing looks more like dust than dust .... some people do seal it, but it will loose some of the effect.

ok thanks, might have to invest in one of those perspex boxes some people display thier models in,

thanks again

I tried a lil' somptin somptin, I did the pastels over one of my kits ( my jagdpanzer IV )
and went over it with a dull coat and once it dried it did darken the pastels but I went over it with dry pastels again. I wanted the base pastels that got coatd over to be like a base color if any was wiped off in like a move for say or even a kid?

It looks pretty cool.

hmmm, i might try that another time, this was my first time with pastels, so i think i'll take it a step at a time,

thanks for the suggestion tho, i'll keep it in mind

If you do go ahead and seal the pastels, and you are using an air-brush, then I've read you should back off 2-3 feet and mist the flat-coat on. That way the force of the spray from your air-brush will not blow all your pastels off your model. Let the flat-coat settle onto the model that way any 'pastel dust' should remain on the model.
