Space Wolves Land Raider Crusader Video no2 : Decals

Another vid on the LRC,

Hope these have some value, there are a few more to go, I’m trying to keep the short, but then next one on weathering might take a bit more severe edit to keep it 10-15 mins.

  1. Thanks Muppet.

    As for Klear, outside europe i beleive its called "Future floor polish"

    But really any gloss varnish would be good. Klear is a good one as it's acrylic, dries quickly and is cheap.

    If Klear weren't in my local store, I would probably use Vallejo gloss acrylic varnish, through my airbrush as I do for the mattecoat.

    1. Those should work! Amazing what we all have stashed inst it? :)

      And once you find a "goto" product the others get left on the shelf.. I use Vallejo mattecoat, thinned and fired through the airbrush as my topcoat on most models, its a good alternative to the expensive and sometimes temperamental testors dullcote I used to use.

      Dont be too sad you have spares of set and sol however, if youre anything like me youll knock one over eventually :)

      And Liquitex, I use flow aid a lot, and sometimes matte medium, but ive never found retarder viable, a wet palette is much better for me as it keeps the paints open, but doesnt add any other dilutants that change the properties to the paint.

    2. I use Vallejo thinner, but a word of caution here, I haven't used the new formulation of it (the clear stuff) yet, I am still using the old (white opaque)

      I have used the new one to thin my paint however and it worked marvellously so ive no reason to expect anything less from Vallejo.

      and yes dullcote used to have something in it they cant ship legally?! so its changed formula now, I havent used it since, so cant speak to the finish.

  2. I always thought that your hands were un-naturally clean. Of course I should have guessed that by now they are more or less wipe-clean...

    1. You should see me in the middle of a full on paint binge, plenty of paint on my hands then as i tend to use my left hand as a palette...

      That said it does always come off easily.. maybe there is something to your assertion of my hands being impregnated with various acrylic varnishes.
