I know! No offense taken. I did him up with Humbrol gloss, because I don't have any DC. I do have dullcoat in a spray can, but I refuse to use those after I got my airbrush. When I get some dullcoat, he'll be transformed. Until then, he's a show donkey I guess! Actually, all that shiny-ness came from one coat of Humbrol. So it's pretty effective... |

Ben, I don't want to upset you, but that's the silliest thing I ever heard. You refuse to use a "rattle-can" dullcoat since you got your airbrush?!?! HUH? Why?!?! Do you think that the finish you would have got could be any worse than a high-gloss donkey?!?
Really now; I am an experienced airbrusher, own two of 'em, and I dullcoat my finished models with the ol' rattle-can dullcoat 95% of the time! So do most modelers on this site I would wager!
There's NO NEED to be an "all-or-nothing" modeler. There are many products that are good for one specific purpose or the other, and if you draw a line through "dullcoat from a can" you're gonna wind up with...well.....high-gloss donkeys! I mean, how smart is that?!?!
You would have been MUCH better off not sealing him at all--not everything HAS TO BE sealed! Now you're going to have TWO coats of laquer on him, and the more laquer you have on something, the more unrealistic and obscured it looks.
What happened with the rattle-can DC? Some horrible experience or something?! I mean, can you explain why you drew such a "line in the sand"??
