Hello all!

just started airbrushing, and there is so much to learn. I found a nato green to be a good base for my t-72. But now thats done. Whats next ?? I have orderd tons of pigments and washes from mig. The plan was to give it a wash and then some weathering. But here is my quetion. what is a satin varnish ?? and do i aply it now that me painting is done ? allso when do I apply the decals before the satin or varnish. ? And what about filters ?? Sorry for my bad english. Hope to hear from you all!

A satin varnish is a clear semi-gloss overcoat which will protect your basecoat,it also provides a good surface for your decals to lay down on,so you would apply it before decaling.Filters are the first step after your basecoat and before your satin coat.

Have you been on www.migproductions.com they have tutorials and articles for their products which will assist you.

tnx so much! What kind of satun varnish is best ?? is there something to use to matt the modell down, if its to bright and shiny ??

put italicized text here

I personally like Vallejo,after the satin you would apply a clear flat to finish it off

You can also decant clear, spray semi-gloss. Much cheaper than buying another bottle of hobby paint. I've never had any problems with spray cans, so long as they are decanted. Straight from the can, they apply too thickly and it is easy to lose detail.

okay, so first a satin varnish and after a matt flat. Du you have some links on a good satin and clear flat for airbrushing ??
