Transfersheets - optional

For this example i put a transfersheet on a shoulderpad

  1. Gloss varnish mix with abit of water to thin it down abit, and basecoat the entire shoulderpad
  2. 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
  3. When dry apply another layer of gloss varnish over the shoulderpad to seal it, and leave it to dry
  4. I like a matte finish so i use AK ultra matte varnish to get rid of the glossy finish
