With the deadline coming in I knew I had to finish the 3D design of the parts the weekend. So I spent most of the weekend on them, and ordered them on Monday…
Nothing quite like finally finishing painting a piece, peeling back the masking tape, and then seeing this happen and knowing you can’t do anything about it until tomorrow. I’m going to be thinking about this all day at work probably.
Nothing special. Nust that instead of trying to preshade with a thin straight line I basically spray the whole piece in a darker shade of the color I want and then work my way up with highlights while being careful to leave some of the darker color on the edges. Feels like it gives me more control to do it this way. Also mr.color leveling thinner…[Read more]
