Resin Kit: 1/6 Ryumou Shimei Hadaka Apron - Unboxing

I'm taking another short break after finishing painting the legs on the 1/100 Kshatriya. This time, I'm opening a second kit from the same figure series as the 1/6 Kanu Unchou On Knees I have previously painted. The kit I will be working on is a 1/6 Ryumou Shimei Hadaka Apron.

Tutorial: "Magic Wash" Panel line wash

Here's my take on the acrylic panel line wash mix called "Magic Wash" Not sure how many Gunpla or large scale figure modeller know of this technique but it is a technique mainly used by miniature figure painters.

The "Magic Wash" mix only works with acrylics or water-based inks since the wash in involve water and Pledge Future Floor Shine or Pledge Wipe and Shine, depending on your country.
Making "Magic Wash" is simple. 4 parts water is mixed with 1-2 parts Future. This is the stock. You can pre-mix this in large quantities and store it. You can then mix one part of paint or ink to 4-5 parts of the "Magic Wash" stock to create your panel line wash. Alternatively, you can just mix 4:2:1 or water:Future:paint whenever you need some wash.
