Finally took some time out to test out the glazing effect.
Basically, glazing has a similar effect of wash except that instead of the grooves or recesses, glazes are meant for surfaces.
The first model I tested was the marines because of the bright and large surface area to test a good view of the glazing effect.
The second model I tested was the zombies on their shirts and pants. The green and blue models were a challenge to work with since they were using Krylon Camoflouge Black for primer. A small test were done on the zombies by adding small splotches of Bloodletter over the flesh for added blood/bruising effect.
The third attempt were the trites. This creates a very different result as the glaze is applied on a dark surface. The result is very dull it is hard to tell the difference unless you are up close. Probably will not be using glaze over dark surface in the future.

| Tough mix to create the effects when you have no idea what you are doing |
Several attempts were made to create effects above. However, the formula used to create the effect above are as below:
- 1 layer of Averland Sunset from approximately between the hands and the elbows
- 1 layer of Flash Gitz Yellow on the palm and back of the hand
- 1 generous layer of Bloodletter
Among the failed result were:
- Glazing Lamenters Yellow directly over the previously red arms
- Drybrushing Averland Sunset and glazing with Lamenters Yellow
- Drybrushing Flash Gitz Yellow and glazing with Lamenters Yellow
- 1 layer Flash Gitz Yellow and glazing with Lamenters Yellow
Obviously using glaze for hues works best if when the base colour you are coating the glaze is not the same as the glaze itself. It also presents itself well over brighter surfaces.
Paint Used:
- Gulliman Blue
- Waywatcher Green
- Bloodleter
- Lamenters Yellow
- Averland Sunset
- Flash Gitz Yellow
Next Step:
- Pinky Demon
