Well, y'all, this Tamiya has been a fun build. No fitting issues, as per usual.
Now I have to decide what to continue or new build.

That is a cracking build. I'm loving the figures, the weathering and basically everything. PM

Yup, that's a beaut'!
Way to lay down those pigments; I've had some kicking around, and I usually chicken out...

I've found them easy to work with once you get into it. I've learned a little goes along way, it's easy to overdo. It may look like you haven't done enough when they are still "dry", but after the pigment fixer is applied the colors really stand out after the fixer has dried.
You can scrub most of it off if not to your liking, and go back over it again. Multiple layers I think add to the overall weathering effect. I have mixed some pigments into paint to give it a gritty texture, like rust on exhaust systems or dirt, with good results.


Looking good GaryG64.

 

[BarleyBop]

like rust on exhaust systems

Yes, that's the only thing I've tried so far.

Kudos to @GaryG64 for pushing further!

GaryG64, very nice indeed and perfect weathering.
What do you use as pigment fixer? I tried a couple and they "absorb" the pigment color.

Thank you.
I actually didn't know about a pigment fixers...
Any brand you recommend?

This is the only one I've used so far......works good, but I have nothing to compare it to.
