I would've finished this step yesterday, but you know how things sometimes go - you plan a long session at the workbench, but other things come up ๐
Gotta say, narrowing this entire process down to 2-3 days ain't bad at all! Sure, the quality did suffer in some places compared to some previous models where all chips were painted by hand, including the light ones, but as with everything, it's about compromises. Besides, rust effects change the chipping a lot, and that's what I'm hoping to do tomorrow. Paint the steel details with grey acrylics, and give everything the enamel rust treatment. Can't forget about the chipped welds this time ๐
At least the rust and painted tools&details will give it a splash of color and it won't be just that boring French green ๐
PS: the heavy post-shading got toned down slightly with washes and chips, but not as much as I expected. Makes me even more curious how it'll look after rust and dust effects.

Thanks!

Totally, but you know it's intentional ๐ I want to see how it'll look with every weathering technique in place, gotta find a way to make the post-shading strong enough so it'll be noticeable even on a finished model. Of course, without being held back during the weathering stages.
Love it, looks amazing!

I'm all about post shading and distressing but I think this time you went a little overboard with the contrasts. It looks really good as an effect but at this level is not looking like a painted armor any more imho..It even got to a point when it's even hard to notice the chipping because it gets lost among all of the different tones. That being said, execution is top notch as always, it's just the intensity that went a bit too far I think:) but I still like the model a lot.
