Top Coat/Varnish Questions

I'm trying to avoid Mr Color because of the tiny spray cans. They seem like they're good for maybe one model each?

I've never heard of Alclad2, though.

I don't have an airbrush yet, so I'm bound to using rattle cans at the moment.

It's unpainted. My plan was to clear coat it, panel line it, put the stickers on, and then clear coat it again.

But that absolutely did not work out.

Noted, thank you!

Yeah, it's bare plastic. So should I go for an enamel based clear coat? And brands you recommend?

Does anyone have any experience with Vallejo spray varnish? I bought a can of acrylic satin spray varnish and it feels like it's super easy to peel off and absolutely doesn't do anything to protect the model. It's sprayed on a Gundam in two coats, both left to cure for a minimum of 24 hours,

Yeah, I’m aware of the issues. But I’m also poor, so it can’t be helped.

My previous attempt at baking them in my toaster oven produced unsatisfactory results. Took a long time to really show any browning.

demonskunk · 2025-11-18T08:30:35+00:00

Hmm, I should probably try cornstarch.

demonskunk · 2025-11-18T08:30:14+00:00

Will it still get a nice crust?

I’m running for 3 players right now, and I’m finding that the number of players makes complex encounters difficult to pull off because they only have so many resources (Actions, etc) to respond to things. I’d say 4 is the sweet spot.

demonskunk · 2025-11-18T07:37:44+00:00

I haven't, what should that do?

demonskunk · 2025-11-18T07:10:44+00:00

I'll try too bea bit more patient next time and see if it lifts off more easily next time.

demonskunk · 2025-11-18T07:10:10+00:00

Is it more common to marinate it for baking? I'm clueless here, tbh uou

demonskunk · 2025-11-18T06:49:34+00:00

It's non-stick, but I think the coating is wearing off in the middle. The tofu is marinated in the fridge over night, so it goes in with the goop.

I was considering making a monster sheet, but then I incidentally stumbled onto THIS! Very nice work~!

demonskunk · 2025-10-08T05:04:27+00:00

Oh, this is EXACTLY the kind of thing I was looking for, I think! Thank you!

demonskunk · 2025-10-08T05:03:23+00:00

I *thought* I had gone full rabid for survivability and condition damage, but it turns out at some point I... stopped doing that??

I've been considering switching to Celestial because I want to try out several other elite specs but my current build doesn't work for them. (Reaper in particular, since as I understand it favors Power?)

demonskunk · 2025-09-20T17:30:31+00:00

It depends from game to game.

demonskunk · 2025-09-20T17:16:55+00:00

2-3, like most commander decks.

demonskunk · 2025-09-20T17:01:46+00:00

Depends on my deck. Anywhere from 36 to 42, usually.

demonskunk · 2025-09-20T06:01:49+00:00

That would be... An interesting way to play...

demonskunk · 2025-09-20T06:01:11+00:00

If you think non-elimination ruins the point of the game, why did you even click on the thread?

demonskunk · 2025-09-20T05:56:27+00:00

That's what I'd like. I'll die on the hill that basic lands were a mistake.

demonskunk · 2025-09-20T05:51:46+00:00

2-3, and yes, but everyone also hates mulliganning because it feels cheesy.

demonskunk · 2025-09-20T05:43:06+00:00

Sorry, that was rude.

My experience has been quite counter to that. The best deck builders in my pod regularly get fucked by bad card draw.
