Hi,
Have been lurking on here for a while but this is my first post - I have found so much useful information and inspiration on here and am now starting to make use of the lockdown to try and put some of that into practice. I've just finished a Bandai 1/350 millennium falcon and despite trying to apply my weathering with a light touch, I think it has ended up being a little contrasty for the scale. I've seen a number of posts mention that this can be fixed by applying a mist coat of the base colour to dial back the contrast, but I haven't seen anything on what kind of dilution to use. Is there a standard dilution that people use for a mist coat? I have a flat coat of Vallejo acrylic matt applied to the model at the moment. Do I need to apply a gloss coat before I spray the mist coat? I'm using Vallejo model air paint and Vallejo airbrush thinner.
Thanks in advance!
