Ketchup Posted April 9, 2015 Posted April 9, 2015 Hey gang, I'm painting my lid right now and had an idea to do some paint chips on the high corners of the helmet. I know this isn't seen on any screen scouts (as all the lids were vac-formed white plastic and not painted fiberglass like mine), but it's not stated as forbidden in the CRLs, either, so I was wondering if that would make for a passable Lancer lid. If not, cool, but if so, I think it will add a nice touch.
BikerScout007 Posted April 9, 2015 Posted April 9, 2015 The rule on weathering: as long as it's not overdone.
Dart Posted April 10, 2015 Posted April 10, 2015 Actually, they were painted (Ferrari White). That said, some good advice above. A little goes a long way.
4505Marcel Posted April 10, 2015 Posted April 10, 2015 Weathering is fine if it's not too much, personally I hate the black over spray they put on the film scouts. No thought went into them in my eyes, I opted for some light earth tones. Similar to what actually would be found in a forest. Just don't go too heavy with the chips, if you look a real bikers helmets, small chips are common, so why not in the scouts 1
Ketchup Posted April 13, 2015 Author Posted April 13, 2015 Thanks everyone! Gonna go ahead and put those little extra touches on my lid. ^-^
