washes and 1/35 scale feguries

Washes and dry brushing compliment one another. Washes accent the shadows and recesses, while dry brushing accents the high lights. Together they really make details pop. Espcially on figures that are more sharply molded. Experiment and have fun learning. See what works for you. Since you are going to use the Testors enamel wash, you will want to apply that stuff over an acrylic base color, or apply an acrylic clear coat over an enamel base for best results and to insure that the wash does not attack and lift the base coat. Dissimilar layers are important with washes. Not so much with dry brushing.

Thank you, I am going to apply a couple coats of future coat before I do the wash. I use craft acrylics (flat) and a little enamels. I do the dry brushing a lot, i really like how it brings out raise edges. Now in the past, I only did dry brushing! , so this will be a great change. 

Looking forward to seeing your results. Have fun and don't be afraid to mix it up with the washes and dry brushing. I too, use craft acrylics and they serve me very well.

I like using enamels for my base colors and I seal them with Testors Dull Cote before moving on to the acrylics. You may not like working over a future cote as its a gloss and your washes may not end up filling in the way you want them to. So if it doesn't work as well as you'd like then try the same procedure over a flat finish. They provide starkly different results.

Figure out which methods you're comfortable with and go for it.   :)
