Pre-dusting on another level!
🕑 Added 2021-01-04 21:00:32 +0000 UTCMy friends, the next step wasn't detail painting after all. I decided to take a similar route like with the T-90 where I laid out the basic dust tones at the very beginning. Just with one small difference - chipping fluid, and of course, the scale plays a huge role.
I think this might be an amazing way not only to create interesting effects, but most importantly to save time. I mean, some details already look like they're finished - the mine roller wheels, the rear plate of the BMR and so on.
So the process was the same in principle like in other cases - starting with Wilder's textured earth and then pre-dusting with Tamiya paints (Buff + Flat Earth) with an airbrush. But this time over two even layers of chipping fluid.
This is of course a foundation for further effects, although I'm tempted to leave it as it is in some spots. So what's the next step? I kinda want to continue with a pinwash and detail painting, but something tells me to take a non-linear approach this time. So... maybe full mud weathering on the lower hull and tracks? Who knows!
The sadder part is... well I guess the good part actually is that I've set myself a deadline of 5 days to film a video, which I've met. This will make for an interesting video. But the sad part is... I'll spend the next day editing it, and then I kinda have to film the next early video, this time about modelling tools. Which again, should be a one day affair, but still... I'll have to go silent for a couple of days and it already kills my mojo just thinking about it! But on the other hand I believe it'll be worth it.
And the last happy and sad part at the same time is... I'm still learning to film with the new camera. This time I learned (I hope I learned it) why is the raw footage dark as hell. Gotta try and find a way around it, unfortunately the footage for this video is really dark lol, and when I adjust it in post, there's some faint video grain visible. Gaaah!

Looking amazing, I tried applying your Tamiya persisting mix over chipping fluid in the past and was pleased with my results at the time but now I see I have to once again up my game!! đł Looking so awesome! And yes- practically finished in some spots! đ I guess you will be doing a darker, wet effect mud in places? Perhaps around the thick mud areas on the mine roller or something like that? Seeing you add in the wet effects towards the end is always a mind blowing step for me đ really adds that realism I think.
