I was about to remark something about:—All was going well until I started weathering and bits just started dropping off again.
before I read you already mention them yourselfenamel washes
The problem is probably the thinner you’re using, or that’s in the pre-made washes. I used to have similar issues with detail parts coming loose when I made enamel-paint washes with what in the Netherlands is sold as terpentine*, but when I switched to wasbenzine everything stayed where I had glued it.
* This is not turpentine, that’s terpentijn, but a thin mixture of substances distilled from crude oil. The problem for me explaining it here is that finding a UK equivalent is difficult: both are more or less equivalent to white spirit, but not quite. About the only advice is to try a different solvent (say, with a different smell) on some test piece to see if that does work.
