Good spot! You might be missing another one

do you put a clear coat over the molotov?

I tried so many varnishes, and none of them keep the chrome / mirror effect
I've tried Vallejo Gloss Varnish, Mig Aqua Gloss Clear and Vallejo Metal Varnish - I selected the last one to protect eveything, it showed best results.

If you know of anything better, I'm interested :)))

Close up pics soon to come! (I need to finish a few ships first)

Quick teaser of my current work in progress.

2x X-Wing themed on WWII Soviet Yak 3 paint scheme:

Lesson learned: aim at lighter colors with higher contrast. Airbursh gave great results. Don't use so much tack for masking ?

Jurassic Park Squad (I messed up the green paint, way too think ? ) .. but you get the idea

Lessons learned: thin layers, don't try to make your airbrush color mix yourself... yet!

I'll do all the droids when I get the chance

Thanks for watching!

Some great work here. Did you use Decals for those jurassic park ships?

Thank you

Yes, I made the decals myself with decal paper and bonding spray by Testors. Just using a regular home printer It's fun to do

precisely why I asked because it seems anything will spoil the effect but then contact with grubby gamer hands would do that too.

then on top of that stuff like a ardcoat will make it have that sticky feel. Right now my final step in all my ships is Mr Super Clear Semi-Gloss Mr Hobby but that will remove the feel for sure.

Failed test. How to delete? Sorry 😕

Experimenting with Crackle Medium on a ship. First attempt: needs bigger cracks

Looks like great pattern for a green crocodile scheme.

Trying out Green Stuff World Chameleon Paints, on black, white, and detailed bases. Interesting shine!

Posting here in case anyone is interested and for future generations

Black base layer:

White, white, and detailed base layers.
