Hi gents,
A little progress with the Stuka - I am attempting the multi layer paint chipping technique using Vallejo chipping medium for the first time so we'll see...
Step 1, 2 and 3 are completed and were as follows (pics below):
1 - Prime the model with Vallejo German Dark Yellow primer.
2 - Apply Vallejo Metal Color Aluminium where I plan to show paint chipped all the way to the bare metal (gloss black primer would be appropriate for this but since only a little will be seen who cares). :)
3 - Protect the metal layer with Mr. Color GX113 UV cut flat clear coat.
Steps to come:
4 - Apply the Vallejo chipping medium.
5 - Apply the first base coat of tinted Vallejo Dark Green RLM71 since I want to show chipped-faded base coats as well.
6 - Chip this base coat.
7 - Apply another protection coat of Mr. Color GX113.
8 - Apply the chipping medium again.
9 - Pre-shade with my complementary pre-shading method using Tamiya Red XF-7 ( and shaded version of the same) since it is a complementary hue to the green camo scheme.
10 - Apply the base coat of Vallejo Dark Green RLM71.
11 - Chip.
12 - Protect.
13 - Repeat last few steps with darker camo hue - Vallejo Black Green RLM70.
Earlier I learned not to use Vallejo paints with the hairspray technique as it tends to crack for some reason, probably a chemistry thing. No problem with Tamiya over HS though. :)
Any advice is more than welcome!
Wish me luck and thanks for looking! :)
P.S. Apologies for the phone camera image quality.
Best,
Nikola
