Hello again all,

I have read on the forum something about ready made washes! Can anyone tell me any specific brands etc i can look for on ebay etc?
I would like to try them out as i am not having much luck with my acrylic washes i am making myself.

Thanks in advance for all answers

Look for the MIG brand.

Mig or AK is what I recommend.

Or get some odorless turpenoid and some oil paints...

A quick tip with the oil paints. Place a small amount of the paint color your using on cardboard and let it sit a day or two first. In doing this the oils in the paint can wick out. Afterwards you can scrape up the paint and mix it into Turpenoid/turpentine. Wicking out the oil helps the wash dry faster. Another plus to making your own wash is you can make virtually any color under the rainbow.
Or you can buy pre-made washes.

Try the washes at http://www.florymodels.co.uk/ There are videos on how to use. I've never tried them, but it looks good.
