Advanced Modeler – Modeling Competition 2017 6 years, 3 months ago Some more testing work. Here are shots of different metal finishes im able to do in the past.Using shelf spray cans of silver and coating it with metal cast grey can darken the metallic paint a little bit as you can see in the unfinished sazabi I have. I was able to create varying tints of the inner frame. However this dulls the shine significantly. The more I make it darker the lesser it looks metallic. I need to find a way to overcome that.
Activity
I use different grays at base and go,over with satturating drybrush of different metalcolors like chrome, silver and gunmetal. If it comes to create different metal surfaces of an inner frame. For me it feels not natural if it is all shiny like polished chrome.
greys… e.g. a neutral grey covered with gunmetal creates a nice iron, while a ghosttgrey plus chrome gives a nice alloy, and so on.
I like the Crome on the suspension parts but for actual frame parts they need to be a dark metallic coating so I can stay on the qanta theme.
