Transfer time
Transfer time
With all the body work completed, my next stages are adding details. I’ve chipped and scratched the paint work, and probably should have done the transfers first, but I’m going to apply a few to add some detailing.
I know there are special transfer dissolver solutions and things out there, but the method I’ve described below works for me, with just basic tools.
Some old Ork transfers, this one is a skull and crossbones, carefullly cut out of the sheet
Apply a coat of gloss varnish to the area the transfer will go onto
Put the transfer in a small saucer of water. I use a Nigella Lawson egg shaped saucer, but cheaper alternatives are available ;)
Once the transfer slides off the backing paper, lift it up with a soft brush and slide onto the area with the gloss varnish. The varnish gives you a good smooth surface. Leave it for a few minutes, then carefully apply another coat of gloss. This seals the transfer down really well. 
Here you can see a finished transfer, with the varnish over the top.
Once dry, I then go over with a coat of Lahmian Medium to matte it all back down so I can see how seamlessly it blends into the surface. You shouldnt see any transfer edges.
