    Sealing models with acrylic varnish (experience reports)

    The Vallejo thinner is the same as the paint, just without the pigment. It is the same acrylic resin as the paint. It is not airbrush thinner though, airbrush thinner does not have the resin in it. Water dilutes the paint, which lowers the overall amount of acrylic resin in the volume. The...

    Sealing models with acrylic varnish (experience reports)

    Okay I told you it would be a quick test... raw plaque folded and glued from my last build (no top coat). The varnish used is Vallejo Gloss Varnish # 70.510 and brush painted gloss finish... my findings... The varnish does not make the print bleed, but if you use water color pencils to...

    it was 63 F (17.2 C) here in NW Georgia yesterday, and winds were light and variable, so I was able to get outside and spray. My gloss varnish of choice here in the US of A, Krylon Triple Thick Clear Glaze. This is an acrylic lacquer varnish, and as such it is acetone based, like nail polish...

    Sealing models with acrylic varnish (experience reports)

    Once the prints are dry, you can seal them with light coats of a clear varnish. I'll do a test using Vallejo Clear Matte varnish brush on to see how that works. Another option is a "Workable Fixative" like used for drawings (check your art supply house).

    Sealing models with acrylic varnish (experience reports)

    Your problem with the Vallejo spray was temperature, if the ambient temperature is below 55 degrees F (12.7 C) do not use Vallejo, or really any spray. The white dots are the matting agent (very small particles of Titanium Dioxide) that are not fully dispersed in the binder, shake the varnish...

    MIKURU - Animefigur

    My main problem with figure painting is getting the flesh tones and hair to look realistic, but I've only ever tried one paper figure... This looks great for what it is, and a learning lesson for all.

    Just a quick update, NW Georgia has been in the deep freeze for the past couple days, I've got my clear gloss, but it's too cold to go outside and spray, so I have to wait till it gets above 50f.
