The established wisdom among modellers is that when weathering you can only apply an oil paint dot filter on an acrylic painted surface. On an enamel surface, the thinners you use to dilute the oil paint will destroy your painstakingly applied base coats. This is not true.
With a little simple preparation, you can safely use an oil paint dot filter on an enamel painted model. It's easy and simple.
(By the way, I'm rather relieved that this worked! I would have been gutted if I had stuffed up the hull of The Seahorse. Talk about putting your money where your mouth is...)
It worked! It worked! |

Great tutorial! I am waiting in great anticipation for the Seahorse to take that antigrav cruise.

Heh heh, thanks Peter! I installed the bottom engine last night into the hull. It's getting close to liftoff... ;)
