About product

The most demanding shade of all

Of all colors, white has the least ability to hide what lies beneath it. While a dark shade copes with any surface practically at the first attempt, white needs several passes, and when a modeler tries to take a shortcut with one generous coat, the result floods together and the fine relief beneath it disappears. That is exactly why it pays to start with a light base and to build only on that.

Why for figures in particular

On figures it is the purity of the tone that matters. As soon as white goes yellow or gray, the eye spots it at once on a face, a collar or a uniform, because these areas are small and the viewer is close to them. The shade from this branch of the line is mixed for precisely such use: it is meant to stay neutrally white even under a clear coat and to provide a base for the subsequent shades of skin and fabric.

Patience instead of one thick coat

Apply it thinly and let each pass set briefly. The binder is solvent-based and dries quickly, so the coats can follow one another in fairly quick succession; it is thinned with the thinner supplied for this line, and water is no help here. Protect the finished surface from dust, because a light surface emphasizes every speck. If you are going to tint the shade, mix it drop by drop, as white absorbs an enormous amount of colorant before it moves. On figures it also pays to mix up a supply for several parts at once, because repeating the same ratio a second time is almost impossible.

A small thing that saves your nerves

Wipe residue around the neck of the bottle off at once, otherwise the cap will dry shut after a few openings.

FAQ

Depending on the surface, usually three or more thin ones. A quicker route goes through a light base, which reduces the number of passes needed.

Yellowing is usually the fault of a clear coat or long exposure to light. A neutrally mixed shade delays that shift.

Yes, perfectly well. For winter finishes on vehicles or for stripes on aircraft it works just as well as on figures.

Add colorant in minute doses. White takes a shift only in a very small amount and is easily overcolored.
