Hi:
I'm following an article by our own Marco Cruz concerning painting a model and he used MIG Productions dark wash to create a bold outline effect for panel lines, such as doors, trunks, etc. I'm on a severe budget and can't tax the payroll for anymore right now (e.g. I created my 1/25 fuel lines out of silver painted arts/crafts wound hemp, glued them and painted red and blue for the fittings LOL).
Does anyone have an alternative, enamel, acrylic or otherwise to consider? I have quite a few paints to chose from in the dark variety (including ink and fine Sharpies); I'm supposing there's something about this wash which makes it impervious to primer and paints for it to stand out when the model is finished.
Thoughts? Thanks all!
