dodgem37 Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 (edited) Kent (kkarlson) asked in the Ready for Inspection post of the Hartmann Bf 109G-14 White 1 if I could elaborate on the weathering technique I used. So here goes. I first used this technique a ways back in the Tamiya Israeli P-51D thread, using it with enamel paint to weather the bombs. Seen here: And here: In these two images I airbrushed the bomb OD then mixed up equal amounts of OD and Black and using the end of a flat brush gently dipped into the mixture, removed the overage on a paper towel, and gently tapped the bristles about the bomb. I did the same with equal amounts of OD and White, then with Yellow, going from dark to light, and creating a physical texture of paint, as the enamel wasn't thinned, and a color texture of dots. For the Hartmann White 1 I used a Black Gouache (a water based paint) wash then stippled. Seen here: So, using my next build, a Hungarian Bf 109G-14, as an example, this is how I did the Hartmann White 1: I started with flat brushes. I used the top two. Made a wash so the end result would be constant. Used the white brush to put on randomly located washes. And used the end of the red brush to tap the wash, which absorbed the excess. And left little random dots from the bristle ends. Here I put a lot more wash on than needed, which is OK. Because after I finished stippling here, I simply continued to finish the rest of the wing with the excess which had capillaried up the bristles. This is the other wing. I use Gouache because if the results turn out badly I can remove it with water and try, try, again. There you have it, stippling with Gouache. Pretty darn easy. Thank you for your interest.
