[paint] Gloss after sealing

[Guest]

Archived from groups: rec.games.miniatures.warhammer (More info?)

Question for the experts: Im about done with my first Sisters squad and,
before applying the sealant, I wanted to find out the best way to make sure
that I get areas of the minis glossy. So, I had two thoughts, one of which
is to not apply any ink glaze to the minis, then after the sealant, apply
'ardcoat to the specific areas to shine them up. My other thought was to go
ahead and do my glazes, then touch them up after the sealing.

Thoughts? Ideas? Suggestions?

Not entirely sure what you mean but if I wanted to finish a mini with
several areas gloss I'd do the following.

After I'd finished painting the mini and decorating the base I'd give the
mini two coats of Humbrol Gloss varnish for strength, followed by a coat of
Humbrol Matt varnish to remove the gloss. Then I'd hand paint GW gloss
varnish onto the specific areas I wanted gloss. HTH

Thats almost what I was thinking of doing. One question, though. Why 2 coats
gloss, then 1 matte? Wouldnt just one coat of matte be strong enough? Not
trying to be difficult, just trying to get as much info as possible.

Please don't top post here. This is an inline posting group, ie the normal
rules of written English apply.

I realise you're not trying to be difficult. On topic question are
welcome. A lot may have already been answered so you can search the group
with google (for how much longer is anyone's guess) or check out the URL in
my sig for our web site.

Anyway the answer to your question. No one coat of Matt is not strong
enough for anything but display purposes. For game purposes you want two
coats of gloss. It's strong enough to survive small falls without chipping
and not to wear off with handling.

I'm sure there's a joke about the poor literacy of many usenet posters
here somewhere.

It's no joke young fella. Back in my day before there were computers at
schools we had to learn to write with these sticks of wood and graphite[1]
called pencils on paper with lines on it[2].

Your letters even had to join up, and the whole exercise caused the finger
the stick rested against to deform slightly from the constant pressure.

[1] Not like fishing rods or bike frames
[2] No, no not the mythical fanfold paper - we used that for drawing.

Actually I'd forgotton but playing Star trek on a Teletype was great
because you could scroll back through the print out and triangulate
sensor readings.

That's really cute, but it looks like a photoshop job to me. I.e., that
picture is a couple of years old, not 50 years old.

Hey, that guys in trouble. That's a classified picture. I recognize
those control panels from staring at them for hours upon end.

Looks like the punchline to the question: why are there no RAND home
computers?

control center, if you look closel you can see that that printer doesn't
line up perfectly etc.
