Tamiya flat base/flat clear

[spanner570]

Nice one guys i have opted for the vallajo matt varnish have to say iam a little nervous about using it but Ron assures me it's a doddle so we'll see.scott

I wouldn't quite call it a doddle Scott, but bearing in mind the bf 109 was my first use of Vallejo matt varnish I was really chuffed how easy it went on...And not a little relieved too!

Onwards and upwards my friend..

whatever you do... do not put the flat base on by itself. if used by itself, it comes out opaque white and chalky. it's meant as a flattening agent for gloss paints. i'm not very well versed on varnishes and all that, i know that the tamiya paints i use are all acrylic based, so i'm assuming the flat base is as well. but that's just a guess.

Beav cheers for the info mate i actually bought the flat base and varnish from tamiya as well as vallajo matt varnish, at this time i've opted for the vallajo will use the others on another project.

thanks

Alright there

Just a question out of interest, i've seen two bottles of Vallejo matt varnish. I have this one in the pic. Is this the one everyone is talking about? I managed to get it going through the airbrush but it's rather thick.

hi paul , yes thats the stuff,but you need to thin it quite alot with water before spraying, i usually thin about 25% varnish 75% water and mist it on in thin coats ,try not to get the model too wet. cheers tony
