Hi guys,

Steve Zaloga uses liquin for some painting effects.

I have been searching and Winsor&Newton has a few different liquin bottles. I would like to know which one would be the best for modelling.

They have Liquin original, Liquin fine detail, Liquin light gel, etc.

Thanks in advance,
Angel

Hi Angel,
I use the Liquin original. It thins the oil paint out a little, helps get rid of brush strokes and the paint is usually dry within 24 hours.

Thanks Jesse.

From my notes on his presentation at AMPS last year, Steve said he used Fine Detail and Original Liquin as a glaze medium.

The difference is just thickness, I believe. Original is almost a gel, Fine Detail is a liquid, but once you mix it in to the paint they work in similar ways, plus the amount you're using as a modeler tends to be such a small amount, like a dab, so to me it makes the difference even less. The Fine Detail maybe makes more sense for model making as you're normally looking for thin layers of paint rather than textures.

Thanks Jon and Matthew for your help.

Best regards,
Angel
