                        hi guys,
                        i just did my first wash on my 1/35 churchill tankWink [;)]
                        i used winsor and newton ivory black and burnt umber thinned with turpentine and brushed it onto future-covered tamiya acrylic...
                        it seems to look ok (phew!), but my question is can i apply future over this wash?Question [?]
                        the reason i ask is because i have yet to apply decals, and am keen they be applied to a future-ed surface to eliminate silvering etc...
                        sorry ed if this should be in the decals bit; i wasn't too sure where to put it.Tongue [:P]
                        many thanks for all your help as always.Smile [:)]
                        regards,
                        nick
                        Kind regards, Nicholas

                        Let it dry for a day and then you can put Future over top it.

                        many thanks for that; i thought that's what i should do but just needed a little reassurance.
                        whilst waiting for it to cure i can just get on with the 109 group build!!Wink [;)]

                        Some dude in a modeling book recommends grabbing a large brush and brushing the entire kit with your solvent and then applying a wash. Makes sense.

                        Other than artists' oils you can use Humbrol enamels. Those are proven for washes.

                        Be careful with other paint brands and don't use any nitro solvents because those are mean and can lift the paint coat.

                        Can you expand on this a little?
