In the UK, there is also Xtracrylics mat, satin, & gloss, I've tried the gloss & cannot get on with it, but that might just be me.

Humbrol have just released a clear acrylic 'self-leveling' gloss, good reviews, & I managed to pick up a bottle, itching to test it...

Great advice!!

This future floor product can be used for just anything...

Hmmm...why hasn't any Model Scale company actually created a product similar to future but with even better characteristics for scale modeling?

Specially since you can only get this product in the US, we are a lot of builders out there that can get it at any store.

Well we do have Gloss acrylic overcoats like Vallejo,which I use,they just don't sell it in quart size jugs Big Smile

How to make mud/dirt look wet?

Could anybody tell me how to make dirt/mud look wet? I think I read something about mixing dirt with Windex but I am not sure.

I tried the "search" function on FSM but it is useless.

Thanks...
