So, I’ve both black based and preshaded Models... but never both together. I tried blackbasing for the first time recently and liked the effect on my hasegawa F/A-18F. I then used a black wash to bring out panel lines. I was curious though if it’s possible to do both? Or would that be too busy?

 

My thought is black base the model, then Marble cost it. Then go back with a darker brown or something like that (but still lighter than the black base coat) and only preshade a few major panel lines, not all of them. Then paint over with the thinned top coat.

 

Would this work or would it just be too much?

Why not give it a try and let us know what happens?  

 

I'm a total noob, but that seems like it may have its merits for certain paint schemes.  I think it may be overkill for other schemes.   I don't know anything, though, I haven't even finished my first model back in this hobby... so my opinion is essentially worthless, lol.

the effectiveness of black basing and pre-shading ultimately depends on your application of the main colour coats over it, no ?

 

It's all user dependant and no one here can say if it is too much or little.

 

Good luck
