PG Gundam Astray [Red Frame] Shaded!
someone asked about how to use Tamiya Weathering Master C Set for post-shading..
well here it is, Its not a full tutorial. But this is how I do it.




I noticed that different surface gives different results for this thing.
Gloss : a minimum shaded effect. (e.g. PG Aile Strike)
Matte : heavy weathered, battle damage effect.(e.g.: MG Qan[T])

So choose what finish you want your kit to look like, and BRUSH it on!

 

It looks almost like Air-brushed pre-shading.. almost.

PG Astray [Red Frame] WIP1.5

Busy around the corner, here is a small tiny update on the PG Gundam Astray [Red Frame]!
its so tiny.. I'll call it WIP 1.5

Here is another example of Real touch marker!

Steps:
1. Run through the Real Touch Marker on all the panel lines (and) edges

2. Use a Q-tip, gently rub it until its smooth.

3. Repeat step 1-2 until it looks the way you wanted it. (the more coats you put on, the more dirt/ grease marks you create.)
