I'm thinking of trying a pin wash for the first time, and I had a couple of questions. I've finished applying Tamiya acrylic as tha base coat, and I'm about to apply a gloss coat of Future before applying the decals/ oil based pin wash.
- Should I apply the decals first, and then do the pin wash, or vice-versa?
- I think I understand how the pin wash works with recessed panel lines, but this model (a Tamiya A-10) seems to have a lot of raised panel lines. If I can get the wash to flow into the "corner" between the raised panel line and the surface, is there some technique I should use that will leave it there when I try to clean up the surface with a q-tip moistened with thinner? I haven't tried it yet but it seems to me the q-tip would remove most of the wash that had flowed into the corner.
