What is lying on your workbench?

It just takes practice (and thin paint).

I'll sometimes spray the entire model black (or a very dark shade of the final color). Then, with the lighter color, start filling in from the center of the panel, leaving a nice dark edge. Do all the panels like this then start working your way out, with more distance, and just slowly build up the layers.

Nice! A little heavy on the tail but nice.

Now for some extreme weathering.

Nice ghost man, at first glance seems like such a shame for a nice kit to get bashed like that, but it looks great and must have taken quite a bit of effort.

I like it.

Cheers,

The effect was done basically as Kylwell described except i didnt paint the whole thing black. I just lined all the panel lines with black using my airbrush and then filled the panels. After that i misted the area overall to blend the panels together.

What a nice piece of junk! The weathering seems to actually make the details stand out. Can´t wait to see the finishd boneard

I'm glad to have your seal of approval. Really do want to do this little kit justice (by making it the most worn peice in the junkyard). Even started a backstory for it.

I know, I'm a geek.
