[QUOTE="Kris, post: 3197410, member: 3745"] rowport... I don't know if it makes a difference or not but the woodstain I am using is water-based (just thought I'd mention that) but the claws and horns covered OK (straight over the top). However the stain can gather quite heavily in some of the recessed areas... and drybrushing things like hair, fur or chainmail, may be problematic (as the raised areas might not be sitting much above the stain-filled recess - if that makes sense). However, if you look at the orc with the two swords... the stain has just gathered in random areas on the flat surfaces of the weapons (it really doesn't handle these kinds of area's well) ...but they are smooth to the touch and I think I could probably tidy them by simply painting over them easily enough (though I have no idea if a drybrushing technique on them would pick up any inconsistencies that I can't see/feel). It's probably also worth noting that I have also been slapping on a quick coat of brush-on matt varnish when they are dried... because after the dip they can be a little shiny. I hope that helps :) [/QUOTE]
