DarthMiller said:it was painted silver first. I am using the "scratch" method to remove the paint. It gives a very authentic battle damaged look to it.
Caomhanach said:I am trying to undersand all the tips and hints on bucket painting and have a question on this one. (Forgive me on the finer points of color). You painted back in the dark green, yet from the pictures it was before the 'skin color/tone' (like I said, I don't know all the names yet!). Then you scratched off this to reveal the green (for the majority of the back), then scratched further to reveal the chrome? This is how you can get the appearance of the 'skin' tone edging, between the chrome and the green. Right?
Trying to understand before I have a try/attempt...
DarthMiller said:painted silver first...then put yellow skin tone color. I used masking fluid. then painted green. Removed masking fluid to reveal yellow. then used a combination of light gray, dark gray to paint details. then scraped off additional ares to reveal silver. hope that helps...last buckst I did I just painted all of the detail on the back
