Thanks for the feedback guys.

I'm really pleased with the new possibilities those techniques has showed me until now.

I'm very pleased with the chipping results, it took some time to know how much chipping fluid to apply, for how long and how to chip it off with the brush (Warm/heated Distilled water is the best)

Some areas are overdone, that's when I lost some control , the paint had not dried fully, and it peeled off too much in some areas, but that was ok, because now I could test the border highlight technique to add depth , and it looks very nice, but almost cartoonish, unreal for AFV, at least real ones for sure.

I'm into some Fantasy subjects (Pegaso 1/6 "Lightbringer" Bust, Scale75 75mm "Abyssal Warlord" Figure and some more) and I think this approach will look great on those subjects.

Once I get past this 38t, I will moderate all I have learned here with the new techniques. The Streak effects from AK are amazing and easy to work with also, great results (Better than Oils in my view) but the pigments are giving me some problem, with the fixer. I use the Mig Pigment Fixer and it does two things wrong, it changes the actual color of the pigment, witch will never be the same as applied after the fixer, and it dries to a gloss, sticky-like finish (rubber tread on the wheel pic) and I had to re-paint this part. I'm trying now to mix 80% white spirit to 20% Pigment fixer, and it looks a lot better, matt and won't abscure the original appearence of the pigment.

But I am pleased that you guys somehow liked the results, I'm trying all of those techniques at once, and now I can have more control and decide how much is too much for the "not test" subjects I will build.

Keep those comments,
I'll post some new pics this week.

Regards
Julian
