The chalks are great for adding

subtle shading if you don’t own (or

can’t be faffing around with) an

airbrush. But they do go absolutely

everywhere! The orange Standard

Rust seemed to show up all over

the ground whenever (later on) I

was dry brushing which was a

pain.

To avoid the powder coming loose,

it needs fixing which I did using a

coat of Testors Dullcoat spray can

varnish. That did keep most of it on

the model where it ought to be.

The model was laid aside to dry

and I stepped outside to get some

fresh air as the Dullcoat has not

got a pleasant smell.

Oh and it’s apparently quite

dangerous. And banned in the

UK...
