I think it will be pretty easy to correct though, just needs a dab here and there. Thats a little bit the problem when using Liquid s hard to actually see what the end result will be as you are painting in Reverse if you know what I mean. I think the end result is ok.I need to make some minor adjustments using a brush as I am not 100% happy with the way some of the chipping is flowing. sorry forgot to take pics of those last two steps. I think I was mixing reds/yellows/browns and what have you till my eyes where sore from trying to match the colors from books and ref pic (none of them looks the same by the way) in the end I actually asked my Wife to check it (She is an Artist and has a pretty good eye for stuff like this) so I went for what she said for good or for badĪirbrushed on a light neutral Gray and started to mask of the bits that should later be visible, next I applied the "Flesh/Pink" tone, masked that off and finally the Rust/Brown Color.
So I dug in to what I think was the most complex part in terms of masking and Color matching.the SKIRT! I used the one from Valejo, it has a sort a strong green color so its easy to see what you have masked and what not, I am sure any brand might do the trick, have seen guys use the Winsor & Newton one wich is actually a product for Artwork and such, but seems to do the job none the less. Next, the Dark Green panels and the Side Bulges.will get out that ol Toothbrush for those splatter effectsįirst I would like to say that Liquid Mask is an absolutely brilliant product and perfect for this kind of weathering. Still need some touch up and correction using a brush but not that much. The first try came out like this after paint and I must say its not bad at all. Used a sponge sparingly to sort a get those fine splatter effects. Then applying the Liquid mask, pretty tedious and in a way pure guess work, but you have to sort a imagine that this stuff covers 100% and not sorta semi covers it, I was really scared that some of the other paint would bleed through, looks like that cause the Mask is sorta translucent in places, but it really does cover.
I traced the outline softly using a Led Pencil, that gives you a rough likeness to the original pattern, I think its almost impossible to get it 100% but I think I got it pretty close.
To me it looks like ILM used tape and sorta tore off the 2nd layer of paint at uld be wrong but it sorta look like that.Īnyway I was really surprised as it turned out ok. I actually had doubts using this as I thought that the patterns you can create don't really look like the patterns on the ILM model. So I did my first mask job ever using Liquid Mask.
