Roughcoat

[Julio]

does anyone have an example of a ruined building or model sprayed with GW Roughcoat?

i bought a can of that stuff and sprayed one of my cityfight buildings, thinking that it would give a nice rough area for dry brushing, but all it did was just make it grey....absolutly no roughness whatsoever.

so ya....do you think ishould get my money back or is that just what the primer does?

Brilliant article, the Iron Chef was a great show.

The Japenese one was awesome, the American one was just lame IMO.

The lack of ambiguously gay asians just made it lame in comparison :3

ok, so this is what the textured spray is for huh? i might give it a try...how long is it recommended to shake the can?

[Pheonix]

a LONG time i dunno... cause i usually shake regular spray for 4-5 minutes to be safe...

sorry i didnt word that quite right.


what i meant was that instead of being a textured primer, it just came out grey, and it ruined the building by giving it a coat of paint.....kind of hard to explain

well the point is is that the building had a layer of grey primer on it, and (i forgot to mention this) i primed it black after, not realizing that the grey primer had no roughness to it. if i spray it again with a new can of Roughcoat, im afraid it might obscure the detail, and the detail would probably be completly gone after i prime black on top of that.

The detail was allways going to be slightly obscured by the RC, and if the detail is still fine after 2 coats, I can't imagine a 3rd making much difference.

yes but the third would be a roughcoat.....think about it......the skulls would wouldnt have eyes, the rubble piles would just be piles of of a smooth surface....well you get the picture.
