Well, I am building a Tamiya M3 Stuart kit. Its the first plastic kit I have built in many many years.
I bought a new Paasche Talon AB and used it to spray all the parts a drab khaki green. Then I used Krylon Matte Finish (i think this may be where I went wrong) as a clear coat over the whole model except the wheels and tracks.
Today I woke excited to do the oil wash. I went to Hobby Lobby, boughht some Grumbacher Academy Oil paints. I also had a can of ACE 100% mineral spirits. I mixed up a wash... a very watery one... and began brushing it on. I watched a video where the guy doing it mentioned using the straight mineral spirits over the whole top of the tank to start because it helped the color spread better. I did this.... and then i did the color... he also said you over do it, you can pat up the extra with a cloth...
I did something wrong because the model is VERY sticky! the cloth sticks to it, my fingers stick to it and well overall... it looks like horsedookie. I have no idea what I did wrong... my only thought is that I went wrong when I used the krylon to clear coat the model before the wash.
Any and all help would be GREATLY appreciated!
I thought the model was looking good until I did this wash... is there anyway I can correct this huge error?
Thank you, Jared
