They have quite deep grooves between the 'scales' and various sizes of flat surface. It's really obvious when the dark recesses frost over.

It's hard to remember though. I reckon something black (base primer) but with a complex texture (more coarse than chainmail but that type of peak and trough) to make it easy to see if frosting starts. I think you'd only get one crack at the item, so a mini would be a bit of a waste. Maybe some sort of 3d printed sheet that is perforated so you can bust off 1 inch squares....davebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07531919635590898334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7962139452456069197.post-90331513629135446342018-02-24T09:43:27.922+00:002018-02-24T09:43:27.922+00:00I'll definitely give the spray varnish another...I'll definitely give the spray varnish another go in the summer - on some non-essential minis this time though! Do you just tend to thin down your varnish with water, and if so then how much. This is my first time using the brush-on stuff.Phlykhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17254310051538681326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7962139452456069197.post-6172308228402025992018-02-24T09:38:56.953+00:002018-02-24T09:38:56.953+00:00Cheers, I'm hoping the rattle cans will work b...Cheers, I'm hoping the rattle cans will work better once the weather warms up a bit!

I stick to brushing on two thin cots of GW’s ‘Ard Coat followed by a brushed on coat of Vallejo Matt - works like a charm, but more time consuming. I did dip my toe back into spray varnish last week when I sealed two AT-STs with W&N Professional Gloss Varnish - it worked brilliantly (you only have to spray lightly), but I don’t think I’d use it on infantry.<br /><br />Sweet Saurus by the way - I love the attention to detail with the flocking!Steve Williamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02234195401059922518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7962139452456069197.post-24108936738481947002018-02-23T22:46:18.906+00:002018-02-23T22:46:18.906+00:00Damn, frosting is just so gutting.

I like how the basing turned out, particularly the flower patches that span multiple bases. davebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07531919635590898334noreply@blogger.com
