You are very welcome Lennart. I spray over the car with Dullcote after each application of weathering with oils so as to seal each step. Light applications is all that is needed.
have fun.

OK, I consider myself done!

Here is my prototype.


And here is the finished model.

Layer one:

While it looks a little heavy I intend to let it dry a bit and then dullcoat which will take it down a couple notches.

Next round is the ends and some rust powder patches on the bottom.

Alternate version:

Every night, he plants a new tree.
He asks excitedly "Did you say Ménage à Trois?"
No, I said "Ed's Law."

This is a quote from the Weekend Update thread:
I have a similar question regarding the car I am working on. I am using oil paints on that car, and I guess they need quite a long drying time before you can apply anything flat to get rid of the shine. But what can I use and what should I avoid, once I think the paint is dry enough to begin with?
[/quote]

I use water soluble oil paints for my washes and halos. Dry in a couple of days.  I also use dullcote for the flat finish.
