Today i'v tried some new technique with my TAMIYA BASIC AIRBRUSH that is applying post-shading. What is post shading you may ask. From my understanding it is applying shades after you applied the base color on your kit so it would look much more attractive and realistic. For me just color on plastic does not suit me well if there's no shading. From shading you can make weathering effect more real. That's just my point of a model kit builder supposed to do ;P
I applied base color TAMIYA light grey and post-shade it with TAMIYA smoke (mix it 70% TAMIYA lacquer thinner) |
Apply the shades repeatedly if its uneven but DO NOT over do it since its post shading once you made a mistake you cant undone it, so be patient and wait and and hour or so until the paint cures. The result is quite satisfying for a first attempt..hehe...next will be pre-shading so until next time, PASSION!
Very nice the post shading looks great!
