Looking for feedback on Ryushi
« on: September 29, 2015, 11:18:53 pm »


These are my base colors. Right now it looks pretty flat. I'll be doing a heavy brown wash, then hard edge highlights followed by tiny weathering. I want them to look pretty well worn.
What I'm worried about is that I've gone overboard with the different blocks of color. The plan was to be primarily purple accents with grey to break it up. Have I blocked out too much?

I think you're on the money, actually. To our earlier conversation, good luck with the wash, I've never been able to do only panel lines/recesses without completely covering the model. I think that might be an issue with models at this scale...there are different techniques that don't involve covering the entire model if you're building a 1/48-scale aircraft, for instance.

Looks good so far.  A very thin wash, probably in successive layers will likely get you there.

That's not a bad idea Stephan. Rather then sloshing it on. I don't want to muddle my details.
