I did a google search and only got 'real' cars. I'm pretty good with the airbrush but I've yet to try this and now I've just about finished my rhino I don't want to take any chances and F' it up...

I'd like to do an easy headlight light-effect with the AB ...anyone?

from what i have seen on models that have been airbrushed, use the airbrush with whatever paint you are using to paint the Light then pull the airbrush slowly away from the light, so you will get 'overspray' but it should look like OSL as you get the glow effect.
If its say, a searchlight on a flat surface, then you could do a rat tail or dagger to emphasise the light reflection off the flat surface.

I hope this helps?

OSL with the airbrush is a technique to practice before attempting on a model, and has some fundamental flaws - namely that your spray will usually go into areas that should be 'in shadow' and break the effect. I do all my OSL entirely by hand for this reason.

It's not an 'easy' effect - won't be, can't be.

That's what I am afraid of Winterdyne... these rhinos are pretty much done after a lot of work. Haha I am reluctant to mess them up.

It can't be that difficult though... Hmm... well maybe I'll just roll the dice.
