N405GJ Posted January 19, 2004 Share Posted January 19, 2004 Ok, time for another silly newbie question. I see all these great models on here and they all say that they use washes for gear bays, and basically anywhere else that needs to have the detail brought out. I was wondering if anyone knows of a website that might have some good articles on how to usa and apply these washes? I am guessing that it is basically just a really thinned out paint that is applied, but I would love to read up on it more. Thanks in Advance Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Aggie96 Posted January 19, 2004 Share Posted January 19, 2004 Here's a link :lol: ARC's Tools and Tips Weathering and Washes Swanny also has a good how-to on weathering/washes. These got me rolling doing better lines and washes! Good luck! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SBARC Posted January 19, 2004 Share Posted January 19, 2004 There's a couple of articles about washes on ARC. There are other ways of doing washes (such as using water and acrylic paint). One bit of advice about all washes.......the liquid you make up to do the wash should be as clear as strong tea......you can build on it if you want more......subtle is the key......you're not painting......you're just adding shadows to provide depth to the area.

N405GJ Posted January 20, 2004 Author Share Posted January 20, 2004 Hello all. Thaks for all of the replies. I have read over the articles, but I have to say that the best link was the Scale Workshop. I love being able to actually see how to do it in a video. I knew you guys could help me out, and I am sure I will more silly questions in the future. Thanks again. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Alan Posted January 20, 2004 Share Posted January 20, 2004 I used the chalk wash method for the first time last night on my F-15E, and I am really pleased with the way it turned out. I will post a couple of pics in the next couple of days. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
