A friend of mine who plays Blood Angels gave me a bunch of his vehicles to base coat for him. Since they wasn't mine I decided to experiment with them. I seen a couple guides on pre-shading and thought I would give it a try. What's pre-shading? Well, If you ever look at a well worn airplane you'll notice there's weathering around the sheet metal panels that make up the shell. Like this
Well I was toying around with it and thought I would create a video, after seeing how the Stormraven came out, on a bunch of razorback/rhinos. Hope you enjoy it.

Nice tutorial! For those of us looking to get into the whole airbrush scene ourselves, what airbrush and compressor do you use?

Good vid, never thought of doing something like this before. I've heard of "pre-highlighting" before (basecoat dark grey, spray white from directly above/direction of light source to create natural highlighting, then paint normally), but not this.

It's a Iwata Eclipse CS-HP and I got a Iwata Sprint Jet Compressor. From the things I read it was a good "starter" airbrush AKA most bang for your buck.
