Washings in model making
You read it again and again, the ominous "Washing" ... Washing is an old method in model making to highlight details. Washing is a very thin color, similar to a glaze. The thin, fluid color rests in the recesses and the edges of the raised details on the model. As a result, the details are more noticeable to our eyes. There are washings based on oil, enamel and acrylic paints. Manufacturers such as Citadell, AK Interactive or Vallejo offer a wide range of finished washes.
