This was a bit interesting as I was painting in my usual impatient fashion and started to put the gloss coat (I use future floor polish) on a bit too early before the wash was dry. Of all my models, this one alone was actually improved by the effect – it gives it almost a raw/new white scar flesh look that works nicely with the agitation of the metal pushing through the flesh (that red irritation was intentional). The effect I am talking about is particularly noticeable under the right pectoral but it is in other places as well. Yay for serendipitous screwups. It is not an effect I would intentionally try – the top layer of paint and the wash literally sloughed off – but I am quite happy with the result.
