Thanks for looking in Prof, yes, you would be right to use PVA as a pigment fixer, it works for me, and seems very robust.Herr Dr. Professor wrote:"Toned it right down & added a bit of Tamiya Weathering Master 'C' silver & gun metal to the lower blade, with a bit of MIG 3013 Rubble pigment for the upper blade mixed with 3004 Europe Earth & Soilworks Mars Rust, applied with diluted PVA, with Soilworks 'Gypsum' brushed on with a makeup brush to add a lightening effect in places."
Now there's a lesson in weathering! If I got that right, I could use diluted PVA as a fixer for pigments, right? That's a lot cheaper than buying pigment fixer!

Much appreciated Mr LK88, as long as it looks close to the one in the period picture, thats mission accomplished.LK88 wrote:you had a very original idea and idea and here you have just as well reached the very end, you have an original machine that will interest everyone, I like working on our machines with metals, sometimes it looks like a jeweler, I really congratulate you on a unique model
