I have read all of the posts on this website about washes, but I am concerned that I have too much wash in liquid form on my vechicles that I am washing.

When I make a wash, I use a ratio of 8:1 thinner with Tamiya Acrylics. I dip my brush into the solution and then brush it onto the model. However, I feel that I use too much; there is always a pool of wash flowing on my tanks! Can anyone upload a photo a model pre-wash, during the wash process, and post wash? I can only find pre- and post-wash photographs, and I find it would be of great help to show me how much to put onto my models! I know that everyone uses a different ammount, but any picutes of a model with the wash on as it is being applied would be grealty appreciated!

Hi Mike,

You might find this feature article most useful.

Wash Techniques

Best to bookmark it as i did cause you might need to refer back to it pretty often.

Hope that helps!
