Waterbased acrylic gloss varnish for painted miniatures.
Acrylic varnish is a type of protective coating commonly used in model making, miniature painting, and other crafting projects. It's a clear, transparent liquid that is typically applied over acrylic paints to provide a smooth, durable finish. In the context of model painting, it's an essential product for safeguarding your artwork and ensuring its longevity. It can be used on various surfaces such as resin, plastic, metal, and wood, which are common materials in miniatures, dioramas, and models. The versatility of acrylic varnish makes it perfect for a variety of applications, from sealing detailed paintwork to adding a glossy or matte finish to the final project.
In model-making, especially in dioramas or wargames miniatures, this product many times is used to protect the layers of paint and intricate details from wear and tear, handling, or environmental damage. Acrylic varnishes come in different finishes: glossy, satin, and matte. The choice of finish depends on the desired effect on the final piece. For example, a matte finish is favored for wargame miniatures to avoid unwanted shine and reflectivity, which could distract from the model’s fine details. Gloss varnish, on the other hand, is often used on items such as gems, vehicles, or certain fantasy models to make them look polished and sleek.
Within the normal process of painting any figure or miniature, always start with a proper mixing of the paint, for this we recommend our paint shaker. Then apply an acrylic undercoat such as a miniature primer as a base before starting. Some people prefer to apply opaque colors of high coverage as a base and skip a step. Then we would do a normal painting process with model paints and some acrylic inks, and then finish with a final protection.
They are ideal for protecting your painting from dirt, dust, and other environmental pollutants as well as from other aggressive effects such as chipping mediums. Depending on the number of layers, they provide a hard, durable surface that resists scratches and wear. All of the acrylic varnish for acrylic painting from Green Stuff World is also resistant to yellowing, which is a common problem with traditional hobby varnishes from other brands.
Yes, you can paint over varnish, but there are a few things you should consider. First, the layer must be well-cured and hard to ensure the color adheres properly. In many model-making projects, it's common to add additional layers during different stages of the painting process, especially when switching between different types of paints or if you want to create a specific texture. However, to ensure the new layer sticks to the previous one, it's important to lightly sand (very thin grit) the first one with fine-grit sandpaper or use a product that helps create better adhesion.
In model-making, it can also be used as a protective base layer before applying weathering effects, such as washes or pigments. In such cases, artists will protect their miniatures to preserve the paintwork, apply the weathering effects, and then apply the product again once the weathering process is complete to lock in the effects. This product will help prevent smudging and fading of the new paint layers.
Its drying time can vary depending on several factors, such as the thickness of the application, the humidity, and the temperature of the environment. Generally, acrylic varnish will take around 15 to 30 minutes to dry to the touch. However, it may take up to 24 hours to fully cure, especially if you're working with multiple layers.
In the world of model-making, where precision is essential, it's important to allow enough drying time between layers. Rushing the process can result in smudging or uneven finishes. Some modelers prefer to apply them in thin, even layers, which can help the drying process and ensure a smoother surface. Applying thick layers can lead to longer drying times and may cause pooling or streaking, which could affect the final look of your model.
If you're working with multiple layers, it’s best to wait for the recommended drying time between applications. For example, after applying a layer of the ultra matt varnish version to your miniatures or diorama, you might need to let it dry for at least 30 minutes before you apply any additional effects or textures, like dry brushing or washes. While waiting, you can work on other aspects of your project or even start a different part of your diorama to ensure your entire project is progressing.
Removing varnish from miniatures, models, or dioramas can be a tricky process, especially when you want to preserve the original miniature details. One of the most effective and safe ways to remove it without damaging your models is by using a specialized paint killer, like the Paint Remover from Green Stuff World. This product is designed specifically for totally cleaning miniatures and models, and it works great for dissolving the colors and the acrylic varnishes while leaving the original miniature intact.
The Paint Remover from Green Stuff World is a gentle but effective solution that targets paints and other coatings. It’s safe to use on a variety of materials, including resin, plastic, and metal, making it perfect for a wide range of model-making and miniature-painting projects.
In the context of model-making and miniature painting, they serve several important functions. Its primary purpose is to protect the paintwork and the details of your miniature or diorama. Once you’ve painted your model with multiple layers of color, it locks everything in place, ensuring that the paint doesn’t chip off due to handling or wear. This is particularly important in wargames, where miniatures are frequently handled or even subjected to being moved around on a game board.
They can also be used to adjust the finish of your model. For example, if you want a glossy look to make your vehicle or certain armor shine, you might choose a gloss finish. If you want a more subtle, realistic look with no shine, matte varnish is the better option. Satin varnish lies somewhere in between and offers a semi-gloss finish. These effects are important when trying to match your miniature’s appearance with its environment in a diorama or specific wargaming scenario.
Another function in model-making is its role in enhancing the overall visual texture of a model. For example, after applying weathering powders or pigments to a diorama or miniature, this protection layer can help lock the pigments in place, preventing them from rubbing off over time. It also adds depth to the model, making the details more prominent and protecting them from dust or oils that may accumulate.
When applying them to your models, the choice of brush is crucial for achieving a smooth and even finish. A soft brush is usually the best choice, as it allows for a gentle application without leaving brush marks or streaks. Brushes made from synthetic fibers, work well for this purpose because they hold the product evenly and offer good control during application.
For miniatures and smaller models, a fine brush with a small, flat edge can help you apply it in controlled areas. This type of brush allows you to carefully coat your model without over-applying the product, which could lead to an uneven finish or unwanted build-up in crevices.
For larger models or dioramas, a broader brush might be more appropriate, as it allows you to cover more surface area in less time. However, even when using a larger brush, it’s still important to apply thin, even layers to avoid pooling or streaks. When varnishing larger areas, you should work in sections and allow each area to dry before moving on to the next.
In summary, when choosing a brush for applying these types of products, opt for one that suits the size of your model and provides enough precision for a smooth, even finish. Synthetic brushes with soft bristles are ideal but don’t hesitate to experiment with different sizes and shapes to find the best tool for your technique.
