TK1 Posted July 18, 2017 Share #1 Posted July 18, 2017 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.

amateur Posted July 18, 2017 Share #2 Posted July 18, 2017 Try scanning the build logs of Cog, or RGL They are quite experienced in weathering techniques (and folding incredibly small PE-parts ) Jan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TK1 Posted July 20, 2017 Author Share #5 Posted July 20, 2017 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.
