Transfersheets - optional
For this example i put a transfersheet on a shoulderpad
- Gloss varnish mix with abit of water to thin it down abit, and basecoat the entire shoulderpad
- Wet the transfersheet and move it onto your brush and place it on the freshly applied varnish. Use the brush to align the piece and leave to dry
- When dry apply another layer of gloss varnish over the shoulderpad to seal it, and leave it to dry
- I like a matte finish so i use AK ultra matte varnish to get rid of the glossy finish
