Painting a new bust for Steve Leadley of a Russian Crimea Private. Used GW acrylics for the base coat and spent yesterday evening painting the head, hair,collar and hat in oils-really pleased with the result!
Put it in my light box this morning to flatten the oils and to my horror the acrylic base coat on the great coat had bubbled............result strip the whole thing and start again-never had to do this before...are GW acrylics the problem. They are quite thick and opaque which is why I use them instead of 2-3 coats of enamel as a base.
I've resigned myself to dumping all of my acrylic paint and sticking to enamels and oils.
Anyone any experience of Model Master Enamels, I like the idea of the screw bottle rather than the humbrol lidded tins.
