Could you do a small tutorial on how you do washes, because everytime i try, I mess up and it looks awful

[lhasarus]

@HELLFIRExxIFRIT Sure! May I ask you how you did it? Maybe I could find out what's gone wrong...

[HELLFIRExxIFRIT]

@lhasarus well i pretty much just brush the ink where i want it to go, in a deep area for depth, but it never comes out good and always looks amateurish

[lhasarus]

@HELLFIRExxIFRIT

By just brushing it can't come out good. I tried that before even wth a 000 brush - no way XD

Have you tried wiping away the exess with thinner soaked q-tips after the wash dried? The bottom layer has to be resistant to the thinner though.

[HELLFIRExxIFRIT]

@lhasarus so you brush it on kind of generously, and then use thinner on a q-tip to shape it but AFTER it's been topcoated???

[lhasarus]

@HELLFIRExxIFRIT

No. It has to be coated before you do the weathering. The coat has to be resistant to the thinner you're using.

This question is kind of unrelated to this video, but do citadel paints work well with gundams,? Great job on those ships by the way.

[lhasarus]

@supercoolcheeseman

Yeah - why not?

Citadel paints are great for hand brushing. As far as I know flipmaster and prime92 are using them, too.

You are a good teacher, and you have a good student...

[kamniks]

[JohnLoganMcKee03]

Those look pretty cool!! How big are they? Nice detail for a small model.

[lhasarus]

@JohnLoganMcKee03

Roughly 11 cm or 4 inch.

Thanks.!

[HELLFIRExxIFRIT]

Man, both of those look amazing! I'm not sure which color scheme I like more... did your friend completely build/paint one? if so, he did an AMAZING job! Can't get enough of these Yamato ships! XD

[lhasarus]

@HELLFIRExxIFRIT

He completely built the silver one on his own. I just showed him how it works by building mine at the same time (and by doing the almighty teacher...ok...not really). The only thing I did on his is the stand (I did some cutting and a sloppy putty work there).

Thanks for the comment. I'm glad you like them.
