Does anyone know how to do this. I think you mix white chalk and water, and then apply it to the vehicle. Could be wrong though.

Stole some chalk from science class, so I am set.

That's what I've heard too, sand or scrap em off and mix with a bit of water... depending on wich color wash you desire offcourse, I bougth a whole lot of pastels in tan colors and still I'm not really satisfied...

You forgot to add glue. It really won't stick.

1. Scrape some powder
2. Add water
3. Add little amounts of glue
4. Mix and add more water until it feels more of a paint.

I tried this, following directions in FineScale Modeler -- I didn't like the results. Now I'm trying to figure out how to recover my Canadian M4 composite Firefly IC. Nice model, crappy finish

Sorry guys to dissapoint u but if u mean the b;ackboard school chalk is no good for this wash , why dont u use the classic artists pastels, though for the washes anything that comes in powder is not so good as the highly diluted enamels or oils . I use the pastels scrabbed fine powder for dusting and all kinds of weathering but not for washes, and my results come out nicely .

I used artists pastels and it still turned out bad -- hate to think what would have happened if I used school chalk!!!

I tried this on my 1/72 t34/76. I mixed white chalk pastels and water with a touch of alcohol in it. The results weren't too bad, but it didn't have the coverage I wanted. Still too transparent. So, I did the whole tank, let it dry, dullcoted it, and then applied more. That seemed to help alot more by allowing multiple layers to build up the effect. I ended up going back with a little diluted white Vallejo paints to really pull it through. Here are the results:

Try posting it. Maybe we could help you recover it.

BTW, just a spark in mind, if you used Elmer's glue, water and chalk pastels, my theory is, wash it with water. These are water soluble.
