Unfortunately, sometimes such annoying situations can happen in projects. Fortunately, it's not a huge problem, but it might slow you down a bit.

It leaves a bit of an insecure feeling that I might have overlooked even more. Especially because I knew that the pockets can cause problems

A few progress pictures

Thanks so much


Hello guys,

I need some help.

Because Lady Mechanika is an English lady, she gets light/pale skin (Vallejo Game Air Pale Flesh 72.703)

So far I have always treated my statues with AK Matt Varnish (AK 1013). Always without problems. This really is a great varnish.
But with Vallejo Pale Flesh, it kind of reacts and turns yellow.
You can see it on the left. Before I applied the varnish the area looked like the one on the right


Then I used Vallejo Satin Varnish 62.063. But after drying I was able to pull it off like a skin.
Luckily I always try on test objects before I go to the statue.
Do you have a tip for a good varnish that doesn't discolour or a tip on what I'm doing wrong ???

Little teaser. It's a lot of work, but it's also fun.
The pants are ready and I'm happy with the skin too
