Hull colours for type VIIC and VIIC/41

Hi Wink, here is the problem I had with the blackwash. Ive since learned that you should apply washes over a gloss coat. Would you agree with this? I heard that the gloss coat allowed the wash to flow better insted of "staining" like on this example. This is my 1.144 VIIC/41 so, I aint too devastated as this was a tester. Its been a long time since I modelled and I never knew any of these weathering techniques before. I am really enjoying learning new techniques. Thanks for all your help guys

That's the right wash technique. You can apply over gloss paint, or you can coat matte paint with gloss future floor wax. I think you've done well - it should be subtle. A lot of washes are really meant just to slightly show nooks and crannies, not make them jump out.
