Choosing a colour scheme is integral to achieving the end result. This is where the importance of planning plays a role – especially when painting large projects like hordes of zombies, packs of orcs, or ranks of warriors of both good and evil.

There’s some sweet benefits.The Army Painter is the brainchild of Bo Penstoft and Jonas Færing. The message is clear… Coat your models when they’re finished. Some paint lines, like Army Painter’s quickshade system require a matte clear to help get rid of the shiny varnish of said quickshade. Also protects your paint jobs from accidental falls, trips, other models, etc. Weathering effects will also be sealed in.
It’s also a really interesting thought to use automotive colors and clears, like Createx’s wicked colors, in a primer-base-clear layout in order to look like an actual car! A Gloss Clear can help your car look like an actual car. There’s also the added benefit of it sealing in waterslide transfers and other seals and stickers, making them look closer to parts of the model instead of stickers.Īutomotive: As above. Using an extra layer, ie the topcoat, can greatly help your paint job’s longevity. Depending on the paint you used, the pigments may be weak, such as acrylics. There’s even more positive effects on a painted model.
Depends how new you want the model to look, or how realistic. Most people opt for matte clears, but semi gloss and gloss has been used as well. Minor nicks with your hobby file, sprue cutter or hobby knife are also writ large upon uncoated models.Ī top coat will help hide minor imperfections! Seriously! It will help cover some of them up, and also give the bare plastic a “painted” effect. Gunpla: Whether painted or unpainted, a topcoat has several functions… Injection molded plastic is generally shiny, and sometimes minor imperfections, such as swirl marks are apparent in some areas.
Read on to see what types of models benefit from and how from topcoating
Most model kits will never see that kind of abuse and don’t need an automotive grade clear coat, but depending on what you’re doing, a top coat is generally always useful. I took 11 staff slingers from this box, based them on coins, applied a white basecoat (GW primer) and added numbers, so I can see exactly what colours I used on which miniature (I of course also listed the paints used). In the automotive world, a clear coat is the final coat of paint which protects the rest of the surface from UV rays and scratches. I chose a very systematic approach to see how the Army Painter quickshade (I employ the strong tone) affects different colours. Both bare and painted models can benefit from a top-coat.
