Couple of fellow modellers pointed out that the messed up '2' and chips were a bit too much...had to agree and repainted the left panel today. I also sprayed the tracks in their basecoat
I think it looks much better now
John, thanks bud, I guess you were one of the few who liked it. I did like those paintchips on their own, but felt they were a bit out of place and drew attention to a messed up area
warped one: thanks mate!
Well, the fun has started for me! Weathering is something which I enjoy most. First step was a pinwash. Must say it was a bit of uncharted territory for me since I never did that before on a flat finish. Worked out ok and it gives already a dusty appearance. After that I painted the tools and glued them in place
Last couple of days I was busy painting and masking the exhaust system. Initial mud and dust deposits were put i place as well. I ended up with some tide marks, but that shouldn't be too visible when finished
Call me crazy but I even started adding mud to the inside of the drive sprockets...none of that will be visible afterwards ;D
Absolutely stunning. I would not be surprised if a magazine/website asked you to do a weathering tutorial as that is something many of us would love to be able to try and replicate. Id be happy if I could even remotely close.
Webby thanks for the compliment mate...might do an SBS or so a bit later on
Started with Oil Paint Rendering yesterday evening. After two 1hour sessions one side is nearly finished. More pigments will be applied later on
Lots of oil paints and pigments were used ;D
Hope you guys like it.
Michael Rinaldis technique isn't as hard as it looks and is fairly forgiving, one should give it a try
