  • why not just paint around the crease? this is like an extra step that you don't really need to know...

  • Due to the way I paint my base coat, painting around the creases would drive me up the wall....

  • What do you paint them like? I have an all tank IG army, and I havn't really noticed the depth thing

  • On Tau vehicles, the armor plating has really small separations between them(around 1-2mm) By filling in these gaps with the black ink it makes it appear that the Armor plates are sitting on top of an internal structure.

    I was just looking at some IG tank pictures and they don't appear to have the same design style, but I don't have a model in front of me. This tip may not work for the IG design style.

    Check out Privateer Press's Warjack gallery to really see what this effect looks like.

  • Well that was bloody useless if you have half a brain....

  • but you did not show it....

  • I paint this kind of details even after priming model with purity seal:

    Prime Your model

    Take wall pigment

    Paint gaps with it

    Using slightly wet papertowel erase pigment from upper layers

    Prime Your model one more time

  • Micron Pens work really well for that, too.

  • ROFL! Nice. I was kidding, yer comment is fully legit. I guess some people like to use this method instead.

  • Well sorry for commenting at that time of the month for you. ouch.

  • <.< He made it damn clear that this is an ALTERNATE method. Think before you comment.
