Or is it OK?

Applied a very diluted wash last night, was probably around 80 / 20...
Since it was so light I was trying a technique, to leave a lot of wash to a big surface.
This morning the paint is all wrinkled, kind of like bubbling but in straight line, you know like rust sometimes does.

At first I was freaking out but now I am wondering if it is a catastrophy or if it actualy looks good... I could scrape it when it is dry, and paint rust on it....

Has anybody experienced this? Have I just used a known technique without knowing?

Or do I have to restart from the beginning?

Sounds like the thinner you used attacked the paint.. Did you seal the paint first before you did your wash?

Dave

Hey Mojo, no I didn't seal, and it was quite thick from several layers

Ahh.. Well it all depends on how bad the paint iscracked.. normally you wouldnt see paint like that in the field.. Also how do you feel about the kit.. might make a good test bed for a new technique..
If you had sealed thepaint with a gloss or dull coat, the thnner wouldnt have attacked the paint.. I use acrylics for the most part. They get a gloss or dull coat after final paint then I can weather without any worries..

Well I've had the coats on my shopping list for a while.
I even thought I'd bought it and found out it was tamiya's prime coat :-) :-) :-)
Went to the DIY shop this morning and they didn't have none, so I'm off to the local hobby store...
I need the coat for the decals, It looks I can't get them to stick so I'll try the gloss coat...
Had another look and I don't think it looks to bad. I'll post a picture

Check this out Ropi.. It will give you all theinfo you need to know about future.. Hope it helps and good luck..

Dave

Wow that's a lot of information!

Do you use it before the decals?
Does it replace the MICRO SET? No need for gloss coat?

Ropi,
Future will take the place of a conventional gloss coat.
When I use it, I apply the future after the basic colors including any camo, and then decal after the Future is dry. I found that with Future, I didn't need to use Micro Set, but still used Micro Sol to get the decals snugged down over the surface details and panel lines. Then I can apply my washes, filters, and drybrush. After all that's done, I apply a clear flat to remove the shine. Good Luck.
