Mal_Belford Posted March 23 Posted March 23 (edited) Allright, i see, Tamiya, i use em alot, mainly, but when i mix, yes heavy diluted and with retarder (all the time) improves flow and yes finnish, many coats, instead of few that covers, the boat i build look at the hull, its Tamiya with retarder, it gets more a satin finnish then flat, forgot to mention, if tiny cloth fibre lands on the model when doin diluted coats, stop, let dry, then easily removed with a soft brush (let it dry first) and you get error free surface without fibres on the coat. btw i dont like flat at all.... not even on aircraft, semigloss. but thats preferences. Still like your result as i like it alot. Edited March 23 by Mal_Belford Javlin1 1

Mal_Belford Posted March 23 Posted March 23 Woaaaa. thats so cool looks fantastic. Thats what awaits me, never done ship rigging before lol....but got to get pass all that PE first haha, thats a new experiance aswell for me
