Army Painter Strong Tone Dries Too Glossy

[Cubs]

I mix the AP inks with Vallejo Brown Glaze and water in a pot, to make a nice brown wash. I do the same with the darker inks and brown and black glazes for a darker wash.

For anyone interested I tested Vallejo's Dark brown Wash and Pro Acryl's Brown Wash. Vallejo's wash is very thin but provided decent coverage with a matte finish. Pro Acryl's wash had more medium and a consistency similar to the old citadel formula. I'll be using Pro Acryl's moving forward...

1. Testors Matt varnish
2. Tamiya Flat Clear varnish
3. Mr Hobby Matt Topcoat

In that order of preference. Al the usual caveats about temperature, humidity and distance when spraying varnish apply but it works every time.

There used to be a more economical option from a local DIY paint chain, essentially twice the can size for the same price the but their matt varnish is almost impossible to find these days.

I have tried a couple of big box store brand clear matte sprays but I found it was very easy to end up with a satin finish if I wasn't careful. In the end I stooped using them as they were too finicky.
