Interior ch-46
Posted by bud156 on Friday, January 1, 2010 7:23 PM

Hey everyone, I am building Academy's ch-46e. Through some research I have found that the interior is not very visible so I am thinking of just doing a wash and a dry brush. It will be my first attempt at these techniques, but my question is what colors should I use? I'm thinking a black wash with a grey dry brush. This will be for the sides and the ceiling (I apologize in advance for my lame civilian terminolgy). I will be doing some detailing of bulkheads and other features. Thanks much for any helpful advice!

Black is VERY stark for use on washes. you may want to consider using a dark gray or burnt umber instead. Dry brushing with a lighter gray is good, but you also may want to consider some aluminum highlights on high use are edges.

Here's a link to the one I did.

that looks awsome. I could only hope mine looks as good as that. I won't be detailing it all that much. The raw umber wash looks great.

Fermis, I just looked through your thread. Your model is unreal. Thanks for passing on the reference  website. I looked around for about 5 seconds and added it to my favorites.
