. Cheers all...1&2 best...
I've just received my issues 19-22 at last so plenty to do, anyway hope this helps l'll try & explain as best l can...
1. Rub n Buff, put a small squeeze of it on a paper towel.. This stuffs potent & goes far... Dab your cloth (mines a black lens cloth from specsavers) in it then rub excess off on the paper towel (bit like drybrushing) Rub like mad the flooring I left it an hour or two.. This is only if you want a metallic like effect..,
2. The black oils into the crevices with brush..and used another lens cloth to rub it in...left that for at leased 5 hours..
If you've used to much of either...put a tad of white spirit on your cloth and rub, it will take mistakes away.. Trial & error till you get your own happy medium.. You can add more pewter buff if you've added to much black visa versa ...
This technic is only suited to the plastics that are pre-coloured in models...as you can imagine a primed & painted model would have their colours worn off with vigorous rubbing & a big no no on matt prayed surfaces.
