Hey guys. I've been away from the scifi modeling for about 8 years. Now, I am watching everyone do a PL Refit is doing the aztecing first, and then the decals.
My question is, if you have an aztecing scheme made up of flat/gloss to give it that "sheen", how do you apply the decals afterward? I mean, from what I understand, you are supposed to put decals on a gloss clear coat.
But if you aztec, and then spray the entire model with gloss, won't that cancel out the flat/gloss of the aztec, and then just leave you with a gloss model without the aztecing?
I hope that all made sense.
