MitchP Posted August 5, 2013 Posted August 5, 2013 Hi: I'm following an article by our own Marco Cruz concerning painting a model and he used MIG Productions dark wash to create a bold outline effect for panel lines, such as doors, trunks, etc. I'm on a severe budget and can't tax the payroll for anymore right now (e.g. I created my 1/25 fuel lines out of silver painted arts/crafts wound hemp, glued them and painted red and blue for the fittings LOL). Does anyone have an alternative, enamel, acrylic or otherwise to consider? I have quite a few paints to chose from in the dark variety (including ink and fine Sharpies); I'm supposing there's something about this wash which makes it impervious to primer and paints for it to stand out when the model is finished. Thoughts? Thanks all!
JunkPile Posted August 5, 2013 Posted August 5, 2013 Look in the tutorial section for panel line darkening.
MitchP Posted August 5, 2013 Author Posted August 5, 2013 Look in the tutorial section for panel line darkening. Awesome. Thanks! My Nova is finally out of the Purple Power, cleaned up and ready to start Cruz's tutorial for the perfect paint job.
vypurr59 Posted August 6, 2013 Posted August 6, 2013 In his article, he said you could also use oil paints and mineral spirits. I use thinned acrylic paints myself.
