weathering
Posted by blitzer on Sunday, August 22, 2004 12:41 AM
I just finished my Tamiya Panther G late and it will be in winter scene. I have never done a winter diorama and I was wondering what kind of weathering to do it. It has a 3 tone scheme. What ever you guys could tell me would help.

thanks,
Levi

Would love to see it Levi. I've never done a winter scene before, but I think you'd might see a whitewash on the tank along with some mud. Lots of mud.

Levi,if you do a white wash this will work and some of the decaling will bleed throught for a realistic white wash.1st get some white chalk and grounded up in a bowl.2nd ues some flat white paint and pour a little{not much}into a small lid.3td dip brush into paint the into chalk and mix.4th apply mixture to kit that you are doing with short strokes untill the kit is done.You can apply lightly or thick depending on the coveage you want.This drys to a paste white in which you can weather very nicily.Digger

This is how i do it. first get some whit pastels. then grind them up. Next add water untill the consistency is about modelieng paint. brush onto the model until the area is covered, but dont make it uniform, if you make it thiker in one place, and worn in another it looks ten times better . let it dry. After about a day, tak a WORN tooth brush and gentley scrape the pastel off. Some will be left and it looks great. Try this on a scratch piece first. also if you really screw up, then you can wash it off. Weathering: simple pastel shading and application to make it look dity. Hope this helps. There was an article about this in one Finescale.
