dmthamade Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 Okay, doing a cockpit for a build. Most everything is painted and am at the point to start weathering. Problem is, i forgot the order i did things in. Do you wash, drybrush, flat coat? Do you drybrush, wash, flat coat? Is there another order? Sounds simple enough, but memory fails me, been burning brain cells for most of the night....SOS Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Williams Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 Usually washes work better on a glossy surface and dry brushing works better on a flat surface. I would paint, gloss coat, wash, flat coat, then dry brush. Gazzas, Greif8 and dmthamade 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greif8 Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 Dave is spot on with his advice. If you plan to show chips, scratches and wear using a silver pencil and/or pen, that is best done on a flat surface. The silver pencil is very good at replicating wear and the pen for chipping and scratches. I always use the pencil first than the pen.

Whitey Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 The same order that a full size aircraft gets weathered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
