Would the yellowing occur if I were to first spray on a Gloss Coat, then the Dullcote? ... -- Atreya Basu atreya.basu@... [Non-text portions of this...
Yes. If it's going to happen, having a layer of gloss varnish underneath won't matter. The basis of yellowing is chemical in nature and occurs within the...

Thanks for the responses. Looks like I'll switch to another product, and followup with a nasty-gram to Testor's. That leaves me searching for a new product....

For the record, I tried the MSA Golden Matte varnish http://www.goldenpaints.com/products/varnish/msa.php in the metal can. The difference is that it's thinned...
The mineral spirits. I used it on about five minis before switching to the acrylic variety, one of which I thinned with mineral spirits instead of turp. This...
Deane, Coming up this weekend. You going to keep me hanging again? :-) Grimm ************************************** See what's new at http://www.aol.com ...
Tried the matte once. Reasonably non-shiny, but not the toughest of finishes. The gloss is a nice consistency to use for adding a trace of shininess to eyes,...
I found this tutorial very helpfull to learn me wetblending: http://www.brushthralls.com/miniatures-102.html I am still in the process to get a better control...
... I've used their Matte Varnish and it's okay. Nothing to write home about. However, I *love* their Glazing Medium. It's a very fluid medium with flattening...
Uh, yeah, put gloss on glossy parts. Judy covered most of the body parts, but wet blood works well with gloss also. Here's another idea - semi matte for bugs,...
Greetings, I have been on a quest to obtain a copy of a miniature that was done by Werner Klocke apparently for this group. It was done about five years ago to...

I've stumbled over the fact that Magnificent Egos has produced this really big dragon named Viszeralyn. Seeing it activated this stupid "must have switch" in...
... He's a beast! The castings are good for resin, relatively solid and bubble-free. The lower wing/fin assembly needs a bit of reshaping ( hot water and...
It's not the same thing, but I have a large skeleton figure (one of the 100mm Army of the Dead old Ral Partha Figures), which had a good base to it, and I...
... The problem is you can not mount the dragon on his base and still reach all parts of him. The rock he stands on runs up through the middle of the dragon,...
Deane: I think I found the 'miniature' you are talking about. Once assembled, it would be a challenge to paint. I see what you mean about the size and...
Hi dean, thanks for your input! So, if I understand it right the dragon and the rock are "separate" parts, and yoU'll paint the dragon first and mount it on...
I saw one in person at the ME booth at Origins. I'm not sure if it was a prototype or a production piece. One thing that really stood out to me was, for a...

This is getting frustrating. I tried Golden's MSA Varnish, cutting it with real turpentine. The turp is so nasty I can actually taste it in the back of my...
