MarkC Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 Basic Kit built - Dragon Primer is Chaos Black spraypaint - in order to 100% cover all shadow and hard to reach areas. The AK Colour Modulation Set Because of such a dark primer I used AK006 Dunkelgelb Base as starting point. I may use the Dark base for post shade technique later? thoughts? Masks are used to create Color Modulation gradients and contrasts Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MarkC Posted November 21, 2011 Author Share Posted November 21, 2011 so the sharp contrast is added with the second paint - AK007 Light Base shading carried out in same manner on the turret the shade AK008 High Light is used to further blend the transition. effect becomes softer as the paint is blended and over sprayed on the top surfaces (the highlights) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MarkC Posted November 21, 2011 Author Share Posted November 21, 2011 paint is really becoming much lighter now with these shades, and contrasts against the lower dark hull areas. Shine is added the final highlight colour overall effect of the 4 shades. Final airbrush step is application of the satin varnish This is first time I try this - I think more contrast is required so I may go back with the darker shades. cheers Mark Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MarkC Posted November 27, 2011 Author Share Posted November 27, 2011 Next steps - 1) application of 2 coats of hairspray and mask the hatch 2) apply the green camo colour 3) apply the red brown camo colour Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MarkC Posted November 28, 2011 Author Share Posted November 28, 2011 1) Using a brush and warm water - paint is lifted creating chipped effects try to control the chipping in terms of placing it logically. Also try not to get to carried away - easy to do because this is a fun and easy technique. OK - thats most of the base paint work complete. I am trying to depict the fact that the Dunkelgelb was factory applied and the camo was field applied and possibly more prone to weathering and peeling. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
