More Civil War Dipping

 The latest batch of glossy, sticky iced buns get laid out to dry. It’s still quite early to say but I think they look okay.
 Interestingly, the first batch I did on Sunday night at 10.30 still aren’t 100% dry. There’s no rush however, I have plenty more to block out in the meantime. I did put a few fine scratches on the armour with a lead pencil, a bit like weathering a tank, it’ll be interesting to see if they are still visible once the Dip is dry. Not many left to do now, just the command with their standards.

  1. Hi,

    I usually leave mine for three days to make sure, 48 hours when it is summer (as it is here in NZ)

    Cheers

  2. They do look amazing. I haven't dipped in years, but it has a lot to recommend it.

  3. They're gonna look great. Humidity affects drying time, don't know about where you live but here in Wales it's been raining since October pretty much non-stop - I poured some Vallejo water effects in Sunday and that's still not dry today (Wednesday).

  5. If you want to kill the glossy effect Games Workshop's contrast medium is a very good matt varnish.
