Don’t know if you’re still keeping an eye on these, but have you had any success mixing inks in the still water to add color to the product? I’ve tried some liquitex inks in the product on some diorama fx and notices it thins out much more than i expected
Hello. If I want to do a puddle on cement, as in I dropped a glass of water over the sidewalk, what would you recommend to simulate the little splatter??
Depends on waht scale. If you are painting really small miniatyres, you have to paint a darker color of the sidewalk and maybe even highlights. But if you are working on 1/35 scale or bigger, just using gloss varnish or a bit of still water would look great. 😊
@@DonSuratos I'm doing an 1/72 General Aviation Diorama. The puddle is the Ice chest draining the excess water. Looks like the plane peed on the tarmac. 1/72 scae should be around 1 inch across.
Incomparable sir. Consider still water as sort of a 3mm thick gloss varnish. It is great for pools or streams, but can never replicate deep resin. Still water is easier to use and way less toxic, but limited. ☺️
I used to choose model color, game color and mecha color for different things until I found nothing really matters if I ganna apply mecha varnish on top of my works in the end, always durable anyway. So, now I just get any vallejo paint without thinking.;)))
Question... I have used the still water product of Vallejo and after some week or months it start to get a whitish color all over the surface ruining the transparency of the effect. This hasn't happen to you?
Happened to me wayback, I think the bottom layer is just starting or trying to cure. The top layer cured faster, and it kept the bottom layer from curing properly I think. Thus I highly recommend to apply them in thin layers. ☺️
Thanks for the video. I've used Still water the first time today... And after a few hours of drying a strange milky residue has appeared in the water, near the bottom :(
Thanks for the video. Water texture is what I need for miniature swamp bases and your video is the clearest there is on how to use it. Cheers.
Thanks for watching! So glad you found the video helpful. ☺️🎨🎨🎨
Best video around for how to use Vallejo water texture. Thanks.
Welcome Clyde! Thanks for watching! ☺️🎨🎨🎨
Just purchased Vallejo Still Water for some future projects and so this tech video has landed perfectly.
Great video as always Don :)
Oh great! Goodluck with the project then! ☺️
@@DonSuratos Thanks Don :)

Hey thanks for the vid! What airbrush are you using in this one?
I think I used a Grafo T1?
Don. great builds. Don what is the advantege of still water if you compare with resin ?

@@DonSuratos Thanks Don. I built 1/700 ship models. i make sea base for the ships. so i want to hear your advice. Thanks , alot. i keep watching you.
@@cnar566 Oh my! Fine scale bro! 💙 Thanks for watching! ☺️

Yes! Specially if you use Mecha Primer for all of them. ☺️🦾🦾🦾

Oh! The paint underneath reactivated with the still water. 😬😬😬
@@DonSuratos Oh no…😖 Will it cure after some time, or is it spoiled now? 😖😖 I didn’t expect it to be so aggressive 😱
Great videos. How long does Vallejo Still Water take to dry?
Thanks! Around 24 hours. But if applied super thin, can dry in a couple of hours. ☺️
