Hairspray technique;
We need a hair spray. First we paint the first coat, primer on the model. I painted black. Then I used hair spray on all around the painted drum. It looks wet. We wait for 10-15 minutes to dry.
After 10 minuted passed, I wash the drum by tap water. Then I touch some parts by my brush. After some practise youll see that its so easy.
I strach by a toothpick and twezeers
Sponge technique;
Im going on with the same drum.
I will use these vallejo colors. I use water as thinner for these vallejos.
I touch the paint with my sponge. I take more of the paint by the help of napkin. You can see the sample photos.
After that we touch some parts of the drum with this sponge.
Pencil technique;
Its the most simple technique. The only material we need is a pencil. Im using a 2b model pencil worth 2 Turkish liras.(1 USD) Working with it for 2 years.
Just touch the corners and make miracles
By making practise and some patience , everbody can do the techniques . Just dont cold feet and go on.
Cheers, Özgür Aydın...
Good post. I tend to use the hairspray technique, I think it looks the most realistic. I tend to use the pencil as a finisher, but I struggle with the sponge technique. I just cannot seem to get it looking right for me. But practice, practice, practice!
ReplyDeleteThank you: a very useful and informative tutorial!
ReplyDeleteJust an aside, I am curious about the Turkish currency. When I visited Turkey in 1988, the Turkish lira was roughly on a par with the Italian: about L1000 to the US $. It sounds as though sometime since then the Turkish Government has done what the Brazilian used to do: change the decimal point (since we're talking 'fiat' money, here, it's sort of a legitimate practice).
I forgot to mention: it seems that a graphite pencil might work...
ReplyDeleteVery nice and useful even for braille scale !

Hi Dauga ;)
DeleteI am a modeler moving to Antalya in a few months. Are that any groups that meet Antalya? What about RC airplanes (I build from kit), is there a place I can fly them?
ReplyDeleteAre you Turkish modeler ??
