Revell Razor Crest - Finished

I've been using Flory washes for years and love them.  Best advice is to use them over a glossy surface, so you can remove as much of the wash as you want. Semi mat and mat finishes and a lot of the wash remains on the surface for a weathered look, which seems the way you're using it. My favorite color is Dark Brown or Dirt.

Thanks, Peter. Yeah, a glossy surface is always better for using this type of wash unless you really want to have a little of it stay behind. It is less "smelly" than using the enamel-based panel line washes. 

 

Onward, lots of surface to cover and I prefer doing different areas at a time and not all of it at once. And that's probably related to using the enamel-based PLW.

Dave. right with you.

Looks great Dave!  

Do you guys have a good source in the US for Flory washes?  I tried buying them from Hannants and was unable to.

Hobby Nut   HobbyNut Models is where I purchased mine. He doesn't have all the colors. It's not all that long ago that he posted adding the line, so I'm assuming others have purchased from him and that's why he doesn't have all of the colors at the moment.

Looking good, the tedious masking was worth it. You can enhance the worn effect, by carefully sanding over the yellow, which erases the harsh corners a bit and gives a worn look.

For anyone who would like the Studio3 file for the masks, I've uploaded them here.
