Okay, that didnโt work out ๐
Added 2024-02-09 18:52:33 +0000 UTCMy friends, I wanted to employ the textured base coat from my facades. I went with black color in the shadowed areas and white on the upper parts, then hit the entire model with Ancient Black Ink (TM). It dried to a horrendous finish, so I smoothened it out with an airbrush and more white, and ended up with a very subtle (and thus useless) Black and White method.
Oh well, I wanted to have some gnarly pre-shade there. But you wonโt learn if you donโt try something new!
Iโll be back with a properly shaded OD ๐

Yeah, I'm even filming short workbench entries where I summarize what happened and what went wrong/well :)

2024-02-09 21:17:09 +0000 UTCAwe bugger!!!!.....My guess at the ink wash was heading in the right direction and I was hoping to see some awesome results......but reassuring for us mortals to see that master modellers like yourself also make decisions that don't work out the way they were intended, lol....to infinity and beyond๐๐

2024-02-09 19:29:47 +0000 UTCWell I think its very interesting but I understand your point of view. Your challenge now is to make something of it you are happy with. I cant wait to see the result
