Thanks for the response guys. The decals are somewhat thick and I don't detect any silvering. The decals were applied on a flat finish and they took well. I think I may go the route of applying Future first before applying the dullcote though, just to even things out.
-
I have finished applying the decals to my Polaris Starship Enterprise and I have noticed that the decals are quite glossy next to the matte finish of my paint job. I Have Testors Dullcote but have never really used it before. Should this be thinned before use? What should I thin it with and will it work to cut down the glossy finish of the decals?

You know what? Just a bit of correction here. It's actually the third Thursday of each month. I can't go this month because I'm working.

The group at Spare Time Hobbies meet every third Wednesday of the month at 7:00 pm. They're a good group of fellas who are pretty enthusiastic and are helpful as well. Winnie, I would definitely be interested in attending.

Those look great Pep. Did you use the riveter after the coat of paint?
-
Wow, those are awesome deals!! Could you pick me up something???

I also find that a good shot of primer can enable better adhesion for your top coat, especially if the surface you're painting is very smooth or glossy.
-
That's actually some timely advice. I was just undergoing some issues that you described and now, I think I can jump in and be better prepared with my next modelling project. Thanks!!

See, I just like to go to a movie to be entertained. If I want realism, I'll watch a documentary (which I do in spades by the way). I'm definitely going to see this one.

What was the non-vip entry fee? -
You're definitely on the right track. I'm doing up an F8F Bearcat in deep sea blue (Testors model master paints) and the markings require a large orange stripe on the fuselage. I laid a white base coat first and then applied the orange. It would have looked odd without the white base coat due to the transparency issue. Good luck

I have a Master airbrush. It's not too bad for my first but sometimes it leaves me, I don't know.....a little...eh. <_<

Hey White Wolf, Glad to have another newbie around like me. I'm still learning the ropes just like you and I feel daunted at times by the skill of some of the ARCers here. But they're a great group and are always willing to answer any question you might have. I'm building the courage eventually to join a group build... Thanks for the drink!!!
