Quick, easy and simple, yet effective I use Ammo products for the past 2 years in my modeling and kits as well, maybe give the a try I know you will get the full benefit from all their variety for effects.

[@metamorphiccustoms]

Thanks Chef! Yup, I have a few MIG products I use too. Couple of enamel washes which are great. I gotta try some of their other products as well.

[@metamorphiccustoms]

Thanks Sergio! Definitely give it a shot!

[@luismarin3551]

This looks 👍 👍 Question, how quickly do you have to brush on the grout/mogpod mixture before it can harden in the cup?

[@metamorphiccustoms]

Thanks Luis! You’ve got about 30 min before the mix starts to harden. But it’ll take several hours to completely cure.

[@luismarin3551]

@@metamorphiccustoms Thank you.

[@LeosilAckerman]

Thanks you for the video and tutorial, quick question, do you use something on your dios so that figures don't stick and end up tearing the paint?

[@metamorphiccustoms]

Thanks for watching! The only thing I apply is a coat of matte clear coat (from any basic spray-can variant). The matte clear coat protects the diorama and prevents any paint from peeling off or sticking to the bottom of figure's feet.
