Can you Apply varnish before or after you have coated with streaking grime or should you not use varnish at all ? Im consider of buying streaking grime for my ork army
I know the effect you're going for with the 3 greens in the beginning, but it looks so grey on the video for some reason, shame! Either way, awesome video!
Hey cyborgbadger. I generally leave it until it’s fully dry to the touch. So depending on how much you use. But I’d say about 15 to 30 minutes. Tho you can speed up the process with a hairdryer. Normally about 5 minutes with one of them if you’re looking to save time. Just remember you looking for it to be completely dry in the recesses.
I didn’t use any varnish before applying the streaking grime on this model and was able to get all the grime off I needed. And the paint job underneath wasn’t effected. Tho using a gloss varnish protects the paint job more efficiently than not using it.
Awesome stuff, model looks great! I always find SG can be a bit inconsistent in colour. The bottle I have is really green when it used to be quite brown. I think they changed the recipe. Now I end up using loads of different AK enamels with the same process.
Awesome video man, streaking grime is a cool effect. Did you varnish the model before applying the streaking grime? And in regards to that, how easily does white spirits damage the paint job underneath the streaking grime during removal? As always great production quality and quite informative :D
No varnish was used on this guy. You can varnish the models before hand. And it does protect the paint underneath a little bit more and dose help keep the paint job keep to the original color a little bit more. Where as in this case with no varnish it still slightly stains and darkens a little bit. Also as long as you don’t rub the model with the qtip the paint underneath should be fine. Just roll it around the model. You will be surprised that you don’t need any pressure at all.
@@warpstormwarmaster Nice, thanks for the reply. I have always been hesitant to try streaking grime out of the fear of ruining the underneath paintjob, but good to know it isn’t as harsh on the mini as I thought :D
Glad this helped, I remember when I used it the first time aswell. Didn’t know if I was going to ruin my models and all the work I put into them. But then after the process I was kicking myself and laughing that no way was something that looked that good was so easy.
@warpstormwarmaster totall agree man. Black wasn't the norm but then all started 2008ish because golden demon people did it and everyone wanted to pretend they were golden demon entrees 😆
I quite liked this video and want to attempt to copy this for my deathguard army however I have a couple questions. When you're removing the streaking grime you take the q-tip off screen and I assume thats to dampen it with spirits again or is it something else? What red ink are you using?
Hi thanks for liking the video! Yeah so when using the Q-tip I have like a plastic shot cup with white spirits in it. And I just dip the Q-tip in it and clean the streaking grime off the Q-Tip and also get rid of the excess spirits. And the red ink I use is liquitex acrylic ink.
