Great, very informative modeling video! (These videos , along with new product announcements, are the best types of videos you should stick to making).
Nice job. Recently did this with a pair of German Pz III tanks, a 88mm flak gun, and a quad 20mm flak gun. All four can out really good looking. Especially the 2 towed guns. Which have all those nooks and cranies. It realy adds to the look. I also color modulation with the base color. Now I still have to do chipping and weathering. Happy Thanksgiving to everyone.
Good morning Aaron, many thanks for this very informative video, at my tender age of 68yo I am trying to get technique correct, but then practice makes perfect, I tend to use a black primer (Mr Surfacer ) then use either grey or white, many thank for this great video, best rsgards from a soon to be hot (37°C) day in Melbourne Australia, Les
Finally, some good videos (this one and the last three on camo) instead of "How to use tweezers". I'm going to put these ideas to use in some experiments.
My preferred technique is priming the entire model black, followed by white highlights on sharp surfaces/corners from above the model (mimicking the sun shining brightly on the vehicle), followed by an even coat of color. This creates a nearly photo realistic highlight and shadowing. I find that the method of black on sharp corners makes the model look dramatic, but unfortunately unrealistic.
I agree, black basing works a lot better for me but slightly different to your technique. I prime completely in black, add light highlights using pastel shades and then more intense colours (depending on research this could be a primer colour but might also be a tonal variation seen on the subject) followed by very light coats of the final colour till I am happy. This gives the effect of shading and filtering, a pin wash completes the effect.

Thanks for the feedback and for watching! We're glad you enjoyed it!
Also, a follow up on post shading and finishing would be a bonus. Keep em coming.

We are glad to hear that! Happy Thanksgiving!
Excellent demonstration. Thank you for putting this together.

Awesome how-to Aaron!

Great work and suggestion. Reminds me of the song..."Cry for Shadow" by The BEATLES...on their Anthology album. 😮 Have a fantastic Thanksgiving 🎉!
Thanks for the videos. Always keep learning is my moto.
I’ve pre shaded with a darker colour of the top coat and it works too on the item I was working on

Good info. What PSI are you spraying at?
Do you need to thin the paint more when painting over the preshading?
