Building, Painting and Weathering Techniques
Re: Building, Painting and Weathering Techniques
for dry brushing your tiger 1 using the vallejo paints,use 70% of the gray you used mixed with 30% panzer yellow for dry brushing the gray areas,for your panzer yellow areas use 70% panzer yellow mixed with 30% white(951)model color,drybrushing is where you have a small amount of paint on the brush and lightly scrub the model to highlight the raised details,subtle drybrushing can enhance,hard drybrushing can leave the model very unrealistic,i like a flat stiff brush for this,after mixing your paint dip your brush and brush a rag or paper towel before brushing your model,you want bare minimum paint,just enough to highlight edges and details,hope this helps.

That's right, forgot to mention you need a lighter version of it.

A helicopter does not want to fly, it just vibrates so much that the ground rejects it
