Was sanding my Chiss claw craft to remove the grainy feel and broke off one of the ends where a laser canon is. Tried superglue-no good. Tried modeling glue and it held until I touched it. What kind of glue do I use for the white plastic mini?

Wanted to ask if anyone has tried "game color"brand black wash. My old glue thread came up instead. Sorry.

I haven't tried Vallejo's washes but I have P3s armor wash which is doing it's job.

It's not hard to make your own washes. A little paint, a lot of water and some glaze medium. The medium is needed to act as a binder for the paint pigment when the paint is really thinned down.

I'm mostly a GW guy, just because it's the easiest for me to get. I will say that their washes are worth every penny.

Ehhhhh making washes isn't always as simple as that - washes are pigmented solutions whereas paints are pigmented suspensions in many cases - with many paints, if you dilute them far enough, you stop having a coloured solution and start having a clear solution with bits of colour floating in it. This is most often obvious (for me at least) with certain brown paints where the solution they're suspended in is blue... It's a technique that certainly can work, but you need to be aware of the risks.

Army Painter make a range of good washes - a light, mid, and dark brown/black and a range of coloured ones.

I have used Vallejo, GW and Tamiya washes and they are all good. The most important part is matching the wash to what you are washing - a warm colour wash on cold colours can dry to be much lighter than the base, and leave almost highlights in the recesses; and likewise a cold colour wash on warm colours can really mess up careful shading.

Thanks for all the input
