Army Painter Quick Shade Soft Tone

This is a great product, but it does require some skill. Follow all instructions and video tutorials from Army Painter. After some practice on models you are willing to sacrifice, you will get the hang of it. Then you will be glad you did!

Awesome product that got me through a tray of miniatures from Hellboy !

I've bought all 3 large cans of this stuff and the wouldn't recommend it. The droppers are lot more easy to use. I plan on replenishing the droppers with the cans. The can's smell is overpowering and the stain actually dries out when I poured it into smaller glass containers for easier/smaller storage. The varnish likes to separate into solid vs liquids parts. You never want to dip this stuff because it gets gummy and takes forever to dry. So brush it on LIGHTLY. Also, the shine is very pronounced! I just used my old 17ml dropper bottle and it was so much nicer with zero smell! I'm hoping to just refill the 17ml dropper bottles from the cans.

This stuff is too messy and not very forgiving to work with. You are better off brushing it on and not dipping. Takes over 24 hours to really dry. You should also use this outdoors or in a very well ventilated area, use it in doors and the whole house will smell. Dries very shinny so you'll need to use a dull coat after. It does leave a very strong protective finish. I recommend to use the Army Painter shades i the 18ml dropper bottles instead. You get the same colors and results without the mess. They are also far easier to work with. Also the shades in the dropper bottles will not leave the shiny finish.
