                        Black basing and hairspray chipping

                        I am currently working on a Tamiya Zero in 1/48th scale, and as you all know, those things get pretty chipped...would going at the chipping while black basing the ijn green be the same with the hairspray technique be the same as doing it without black BASING?  Logic would suggest that it would, but has anyone had any experience trying it?

                        "...failure to do anything because someone else can do better makes us rather dull and lazy..."

                        Mortal as I am,I know that I am born for a day.  But when I follow at my pleasure the serried multitude of the stars in their circular course, my feet no longer touch the Earth...

                        Yeah that's a tough one. I love black baseing and do it on everything now including ships, What I've done for chipping is black base, then spray aluminium where I want to chip, then use AK Interactives Worn Effects because it can be brushed on.
                        Spray the silver on lightly so the basing still works. It seems to work well enough.

                        I'm sure others have a better answer.
