thanks again guys :-)
@Guy, No I don't have an artistic background (have a degree in aeronautical engineering :-)), but I'm lucky enough to be a member of a modelling club that has some top notch figurine and AFV modellers and I learned a lot from them. Most of the techniques I use are quite similar to the ones that are commonly used by figurine painters. They are not too difficult to master, but are very effective. Check out the works of Jaume ortiz or my friends Staf Sneyers, kristof Pullinckx (AFV modellers) and Marijn Van Gils (AFV and figurines) for examples.
For weathering I always use oil paints, because I find I have (almost
) total control over them. I seldom use overall filters but use them more to create variation (to pick out panels that where made out of different materials for instance)
Little update on the Hisso as well.
Been trying to replicate worn dark leather. This I did using life color acrylics. Should I leave it this way or should I lighten up the worn area's a bit more?
Cheers
Flip
