Graze Ritter and Hobby1Japan competition

Image
Heres a quick build I did for a local comp. Paint scheme inspiration from maschinen krieger and Akrikorps armor. I added some bright colors and decals to modulate and tried some 'eavy metal style chips and scratches. And here are the competitors. We had an amazing turnout this time! The quality of builds is definitely going up. Seriously proud of the local community. You guys killed it 👌

Guide for beginners: Panel wash

Panel Lining Adding color to the recessed details of your models brings a sense of depth and reveals details that would get drowned out in small scale. Some choose to do this with pencils or markers, others paint. Some use a very thinned down paint which easily runs into crevasses all by itself. This thin paint is called a wash. We can make a wash with any kind of paint but due to interaction with the base coat the most common choice is Enamel. As we already know, enamel paint does not react with either acrylic or lacquer. This makes it perfect for washing our model's details. Let's look at how it works: We start with enamel paint. Any brand is fine. Oil paint can also be used but be aware that the dry time will be days if not weeks. If using oil paint we will top coat with a lacquer to speed the drying time and prevent smudging of the colors. Next we thin the paint until it is almost transparent. We can test the consistency br dragging the paint
