http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/8.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net so I have a mostly white army with black shoulder pads, and black details, but are getting converted to white scars currently. But i was wondering can any help me with tips to make the white look better? Ive heard that there is one technique that invloves painting the model grey, then dry brushing white but i dont get it. or just some other hints. Thanks ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/251771/896425.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/251771/896425.page GMT
I just use lots of thin layers of white over a grey foundation colour basecoast, its time consuming, but looks good in the end.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/251771/896455.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/251771/896455.page GMT Remember to thin down your white paint to about the consistency of milk and only paint where you want it to be white. paint almost to the creases but not in them so your black wash creates a shadow. It will probably take about 4 thin layers of white to get a solid white color. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/251771/896462.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/251771/896462.page GMT usually 2 coats and its solid white , but a simple trick to remember.

you first brush one way for example ------------
then after its dry you go llllllllllllllllllllllll

the crisscross will make all the uneven strokes 100% solid.

and i dont like dry brushing because it mess up the areas around it D:

With the above ^ example it can be different , some people use white streaks as a form of high light.
so do the first coat in what ever 90 degree angle to the streaks direction , and finish the 2nd coat as you want.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/251771/896463.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/251771/896463.page GMT
