What type of clear acrylic flat do you use?

Post by Sci Fi Smoker »

I'm nearing completion of my Screamin Chewbacca and want to seal it with a good clear flat. I've used Tamiya and Apple Barrel acrylics on it, and since this is my first figure model I want to use the best acrylic flat I can get.

I've not used loads of different types, but I've been happy with the results I've gotten from the Polly S acrylic variety.

Poly S is nice. I do like Gunze's as well. A trick is not to apply too thick, but in a couple of coats.

Largely due to ease of availability.
