Looks very nice.

It's interesting to see what "magic wash" can do to these vehicles.

I did a brown wash on my M1A2 and it really brings the detail out. I'm having touble posting pics, but what bang for so little work.

 

[Mr Evil]

yeah the detail on the modls is great there rammed with it, i was taken back by how much after wash was put on.

 

[Rob_A]

Maybe MGP should have considered this.

 

[Mr Evil]

not realy, magic wash takes time to dry and time costs more than product dont forget.

 

[byram]

heat lamps to make it dry faster anyone?

Nice work Evil

 

[Fanaticus]

Definitely some nice results!

Did you seal it after the washes, with some matte varnish?

Are you considering some further weathering with some drybrush and some pastels or weathering pigments, like the ones from Tamiya?

They can be applied very easy, and are very resistant to the handling.

 

[Mr Evil]

nah im way to lazy for any of that

The acrylic floor wax wash mixture is in itself a sealant, so there's no need to varnish again.

Mine dries glossy, so I put a dull coat on. IF you do so, wait 24 hours to make sure the wax is dried. Rumor has it the dull coat and the wax gets clowdy if the wax isn't completely dried. Can't say for sure as I always just wait overnight to spray.

That's the precise reason why I've asked.

Usually, a magic wash gives a somewhat glossy finish when dried.

Here's a couple of Challenger 2s I detailed for a buddy. Blocked out the black camo for more contrast, black wash, drybrushing, textured paint for more realistic dirt and some Union Jacks just because.

All very nice work, guys!

 

[Shadow4ce]

Love the mud-look on the sideskirts. Well done folks.

 

[BuShips]

Nice work, all.

there awsome, what colour did you drybrush with ?

 

[Paladin]

The mud looks excellent. Adds another notch of realism.

Evil: P3 Thrall Flesh for the green, Ironhull Grey for the black, Rucksack Tan for the dirt.
