Filters... What the heck are they..

Post by Damonkh »

OK. This is something new to me at least. Can someone tell me or point me in the right direction about FILTERS and what, how in scale modeling?

Sorry if its answered already, just haven't seen it on the board yet or I have looked it.

Filters are nothing new I believe they used to be called glazes, and as far as I'm aware they're for unifying or pulling together of various paint colours, I'm new to using them but am willing to give anything a go.
A bad days modelling is better than a good day doing anything else :roll:
