Recommended Posts

Hello

Here a few pictures of my last build.

I used the recent Italeri offering, with Musthave! resin wheels and seat.

The whole build, paint and weathering process is detailed in the issue n°3 of the french "Cocardes" magazine.

Another awesome finish from Rom, looks very convincing. In the two images below, there seems to be a whitish haze with all sorts of scratches etc. It looks very realistic. Can you explain how you achieved that look? It looks like you did a lot of different things that have beautifully come together. I'm very very impressed.

Thank you Jan!

All the weathering process is detailled with pictures in the article.

So I cant post them here. Sorry.

But I can tell that the whitish haze is done with an oil filter.

Oil dirt with black/brown oil stamped and wiped.

Scratches are done with pencils.

:rolleyes:

cheers

Romain
