Chas Posted April 25, 2005 Share Posted April 25, 2005 (edited) Hey all well, as it says this is my first model in 20 years - SO BE KIND -. I am using artists acrylic paints thinned with a touch of isopropyl alchohol (95+%) and water, with a future clear coat and it's all going on with a regular old fashioned paint brush. As this is the first time I have ever atempted any kind of emphasizing of panel-lines and weathering I am unsure as to when enough is enough. I am not using a typical Macross paint scheme for ths model, hence the colour but is this too much panel lines and weathering?

jardann Posted April 25, 2005 Share Posted April 25, 2005 That panel lining/weathering looks very good to me. I'm sure a lot of people would say you could even put a little more weathering on there. I usually like some light weathering better than heavy. It looks like you have gotten a really nice finish on the base coat, especially using a brush with artist acrylics. Keep up the good work and welcome back to model building! Please post more pics as you go. We all enjoy seeing each other's work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chas Posted April 25, 2005 Author Share Posted April 25, 2005 Yeah I hope to be able to get better pics. but I mostly end up working on it at night so I have to use artificial lights for the Photos. But I'll postmore as I go along - hopefully they'll get better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
