I gave up on my mini hand saw, brought it to a friends workshop he got it done with dremel. But the dust was all over the place @locoOttomobile which type of ST are you? R1?

FogOut Posted November 19 Author Share Posted November 19 Nice weathering, how did you do it?, was it a combination of using the salt and also paint or perhaps sanding back to the base coat?It’s ‘much basic. The “shadow” are airbrush work. Chipping is the “sponge” method. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FogOut Posted November 22 Author Share Posted November 22 How exactly does this work? Haven't heard of it tbhIt’s the most simplest of weathering technique for building scale models. Anyway, you create the chips using a sponge. Dip sponge in the base colour and slowly dap it on the edges or weathered areas. Randomly or with a wear pattern Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valafar Posted November 22 Share Posted November 22 Ah I see, yeah I know that. That means your paint chips aren't actually chipped, just painted on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FogOut Posted November 28 Author Share Posted November 28 The daily thunder storm not helping out with paint work. Too much moisture in the air. Gonna have to sand and respray Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeRadness Posted Saturday at 06:01 PM Share Posted Saturday at 06:01 PM Are you using primer or any undercoat here? I’ve had similar reactions with different paint applications not “curing” long enough to let the acetone levels drop. And I saw this kind of raised/peeling. It was specially drastic when using Rustoleum primers. The weather could definitely be a factor. I just wanted to throw the other possibilities out there too since I’ve had frustrating experiences like these even in the driest of conditions. Hope this helps? -Mike Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
