I bought a tin of the Army Painter Quickshade dip Quickshade a while ago & finally got to use it in anger on some 20mm plastic Yanks & metal BAOR Brits (I'll bring some in on Monday).
I'm a fan of washes anyway but am impressed with this stuff! It appears to be something like Yacht Varnish with pigment in it.
Given my track record with paint near anything of value, or household objects, I opted to put it on with a brush rather than the dip method. A liberal splashing & then draw any excess off seems to do the trick nicely.
It's very smelly & sticky, but seems almost "intelligent" in the way it fades into the recesses. Dries to a high gloss & needs a matt varnish over the top, but I can't see the models getting chipped & it seems to be a reasonably quick way to paint a lot of troops up to gaming standards.
Has anyone else had the same impression or is it just me being lazy??
Cheers,
