Beautiful!! I understand using Mod Podge mixed with paint as a primer, but what is the windshield washer fluid for? |

I'm guessing the wiper fluid is a detergent to reduce the surface tension in the mix and allows the primer mix to stay as a film rather than "gapping" and leaving areas uncovered after priming. I've tended to use a few drops of dishwasher rinseaid or washing up liquid for the same reason in homemade washes – and it might help the cover of brush on gesso which sometimes "gaps" too, I'll give it a try once I'm in winter (brushing not spray) priming season |

They are nice, do please keep posting as your project progresses. |

Thanks for the kind comments. The windshield fluid helps to thin the paint and mod podge for better coverage. This is not a trick I thought of but model builders use it instead of water to thin paints. A cheep flow aid solution. |

Thanks for sharing your progress. I have fallen in love with 1/72 plastics all over again. I am doing Pony Wars in 15mm, as I already had a large Plains War collection when the rules were reissued. But I am collecting 1/72 plastics for other periods. Thanks for your painting tips! |

Thanks Nick! I also have 15mm Pony Wars stuff, not a complete collection for it, but switched gears mid flight, as I am prone to do. I have been a big 1/72 fan since the mid 1990's and have several large collections for various periods. |
