Joe (Rix), thanks so much! I used the Flory (clay-based pigment) Wash again on this one, so I did make an attempt at the panel lines. But your observation is correct, not much to see. I figured it was a combination of the delicate panel lines on the Hasegawa kit, way too heavy on my gloss coat (still struggling with that), and perhaps the Flory pigment being a bit coarse for the tiny panels lines???
Could I still do that pin wash at this point? Would I need to seal it with (yet another) light coat of matte? And do you mean an oil pin wash or something else? I have a lot to learn about washes and panel lines. I simply haven't figured out how to control oil washes except for the occasional success with detail washes, in cockpits and wheel wells and the such.
I really appreciate your observation, I am here to have fun AND to learn, and by noticing something and mentioning it, that only helps me to progress! And, it is just plain fun to be able to build with you too, Joe!
