every time I see a pre-weathering like this I think: This Gentleman knows.

Main colors and a gloss varnish are applied, ready to do some weathering ππ.

My preference is pre-shading using the Black-Basing technique, but I'm curious how you will do this weathering. I haven't seen this before, following with great interest my friend!

Hi MatesβοΈ, thx for stepping by!
Hey Jos, i've added a littel description (starts at Pic Nr 18) how i do the weathering π.

That's an ingenious way to weather this bird. Very cool technique! ππΌ

What Patrick says...! I find this weathering technique very interesting...the fact that you're creating realism and the 3d effect, love it!

Hi Mates βοΈ! The most decals are applied and i call It a day till friday. Next step is a wash, weathering with oils and a Filter. If anybody hast a question so far, please feel free to ask.

oh this is masterfully done! 👍 👍 👍
maybe just a little bit too evenly distributed? Maybe add some "unexpected glitches" to the respray matrix to break the grid look up a bit 🙂 Some dots or a big soft edged respray job in some corner or something like that
watching with great interest, this will be a stunner!

Hi Daniel. You are right, i will do some 'unexpectd glitches' after the filter. Thx for the advice mate.

I too appreciate the detailed description of your technique. The effect is definitely convincing.

Awesome, thank you for the tutorial. Did you used a panelliner or wash before you used the oilpaints?

Hi DuperScale. I've done a Panel Line wash (Pin wash) before the oils, and the a good gloss Cote with Tamiya x22 and leveling thinner.

Thank you DuperScale and CaptGPF, appreciate that π.
@DuperScale: glad to hear from you that you've learned some 'tricks', Mate ππ.
