Dipping is an Ancient Hobby Secret once only spoken in hushed tones by elder hobbyists as their secret to achieving insane shading, insanely fast. Apply Quickshade to the models using an old paintbrush (I stress the use of the word OLD. I havent tried anything else on my models, but I imagine woodstain would work just as well (you might need to thin it a bit though).Īs was also said, do NOT dip your models. Price can be an issue though (as others have said), but Im lucky in that I get the stuff from an independant stockist with whom I get discounts (FYI it costs about $40 - $50 dollars normally).
