thanks my friend . My tale is one of woe and trial and error. in the 9-10 months i’ve been at this i’ve spent much of that time working on builds testing materials etc and some were junked but the process taught me much. so, i took all of those failures and used them as warning signs during builds and since then i’ve had no problems or issues. My problem was capitalizing a huge inventory of paints, weathering and other agents spending untold amounts of money just to have them. That makes one have an itch to try everything BUT, i already did that on old dummy test kits and learned how, when and why to weather a build and how much. lately i’ve been partial to using oils on my builds . the oil pin wash is fun . i could go on but the point is knowing when to say when really. thanks
thank you . It’s a philosophy not unlike I used in the Corps. once we all knew the commanders intent, every lower echelon command right down to fire teams and individual Marines. in most cases our seniors didn’t care how we got it done as long as we just got it done.
Same with weathering and such: i look at the kit box art and ask myself if that’s the look a build needs. then i formulate a flexible paint and weathering scheme. here and there i might tweak it but it seems to work for me
