Panel liner?
A bit, yes. But mostly a base color, highlight color, and shadow color with brush paints.
My photography is awful.
I should take photos of my best paint work for warhammer
Tamiya/Italeri Sd.kfz 231
The metal finish looks real
I've never dared making land vehicles specifically because of how much detail is required for a nice finish. 1/700 warships are nice and easy
That's German Grey paint.
Imagine posting nazi vehicles you painted. Your gonna get buzzfeed to write an article. Smh
kek
I mean stuff like the chipping and wearing of the paint along the edges
It goes a long way to make the surfaces look like metal and not plastic
Currently working on this problem child, background toaster for scale
Can't worry about weathering if the model is too small to weather <:mmh:539854862746255395>
Dry brush it?
I might, but effort/skill
Yeah
I need to make some black enamel wash as well
buy some liquid skill from GW [Agrax Earthshade]
Y'all virgins tbh
Nice Kongo-class BB, @Mu . Which one is it?
Derp, that's a Nagato-class. Probably Nagato herself from early in the war.
I've seen folks do really well at weathering ships at that scale. It really does come down to time and patience, both to learn the skills and apply them. In the end, they're not that much different from 1/35 scale armor, just far more tetchy.
Yee, post refit, pre AA barge conversion Nagato
_nods._
Oh I've seen some extremely skilled people weather 1:700 models down to absolute perfection but it's far beyond my skill level
Two words: photo etch.
Yes, photo etch <:monkaS:430210831750529044>
_hates having to use photo etch, btw._
I've done 1:700 PE parts before and it's an absolute nightmare
I have trouble with 1/200 PE ship parts.
Yeah they're so finnicky and hard to get right
I have the Trumpeter 1/200 HMS Nelson.
Ah lucky bastard
That thing is huge.
My experience with Trumpeter is that they make really good kits but they take a bit of skill to put together. I have their 1942 1/700 HMS Warspite and I made quite the mess of the PE parts
