                        You've got the right idea, shipbuilder...thinned acrylic with water, with dish soap added. This is the patend-pending "sluge wash" you are recalling. You're right on track my friend!

                        Links from Bgrigg just about cover everything. But this is a forum so i'll add one thing they don't have. A fellow modeler turned me on to windsor and Newton water soluble oils in the tubes. I really recommend these. Easy for lots of reasons especially you don't need turpentine or oil thinners.

                        Simplist solution is to point you in the direction of these two fine gentlemen.

                        I used this type of wash before and had alot of success with it in the past, But I took a vaction from modeling for a few years and can not remember how it goes. I what to say that I used model master arcyl paint thinned with water and just a drop or two of dishsoap. Let me no what you guys think. I got it from a user tip, but like I said I do not remember if this is correct.
