Okay, I have two weeks to complete a diorama, I put Future on a Hanomag, tried my first wash, and everything went wrong! I couldn't see where the wash went, it dried, and it looks like a five-year-old drank black paint and threw it back up! I almost taught that stupid thing to fly! Okay, then, in my sleep deprived state, I put on Model Master Flat Acryl for Lord knows what reason, and I'm in one heck of a fix! If I don't get things done, I'm going to turn that stupid, little chunk of plastic into a fireworks display! Oooooohhhh......I want to kill some little plastic people! I better get off...Thanks for your time.

well, seeing how well you described it, i dont think the models looks to nice( does it fly? my planes dont, i tried )

i absolutly aint no expert in this stuff since iam at the learning stage right now...but beaing at the learning stage is cool.

i guess if you dont want to throw away the models try changing your dio, snow dios hide all the imperfections on your model( i know what iam talking about )

Frank
and good luck

At this point i think all you can do is strip it.
or paint over it .

You could lay on another base coat but I assume you used a camoflage scheme as well. Additional coats could fill recessed panel lines and cover small raised areas such as rivets. Depending on the diorama, heavy weathering with pastels may still present an overall acceptable model.

Good luck.
