Looking for an example of weathered hull painting I saw here


Recommended Posts

Hoping someone here can assist.  On browsing the site recently I was a WIP (in the Gallery no doubt) of a plastic ship where the lower hull was first painted white or cream, then random spray patterns were applied, before a light coat of hull red.

 

I'm keen to give it a try but wanted to revisit the pics and comments - but for the life of me I can't find it.  I've scrolled through all the fairly recent kit build logs I can see of plastic ships but none are what I am looking for.

 

Does anyone recall this or have a link (or comments on) how to achieve this weathered finish.  It looked great.  I'm sure I could give it a shot from memory, but the technique and colours were described well as far as I can recall.


Thanks in advance,

Darren

Thanks for the replies.  It's not the Yamato, I've gone through RGL's posts lots (they are amazing).  It was using random patterns to get a weathered effect.  Will keep looking if no-one remembers it or just experiment myself.
