After initial anger and stress I've since calmed down. I've ordered some more paint, another set of transfers and some Humbrol Satin Cote, a high quality modelling varnish to finish them properly next time!

No need to redo it, just run a 'wash' of dirty brown/black in Isocol alcohol (a couple of drops of paint in a thimble full of alcohol)over the entire model. That will kill the flaws and give you a nice 'slightly weathered' look. More details of the technique in some of the older posts on my blog.
ReplyDeleteThanks James - if this was smaller scales I'd definitely just disguise it with weathering but the problem with running outdoors is that direct sunlight always hi-lights the flaws in your finish and weathering doesn't disguise them. Therefore I'm going to repaint this time - it's the right, if frustrating, decision in the long run.
