I have to say....I find this hobby very intimidating.
And I'm a beginner
If I hadn't stumbled upon resin illuminati two years ago, I would still be satisfied with toys and action figures
I've been working on a fine molds falcon for about a year and am now too scared to continue. So I'm taking a breather on it to do a y-wing as an excersize. Mostly in weathering. I'm not worrying about accurization at all here. I didn't even fill the seams. This is about paint and decals.
Basically, I primed it and then did a grimy/rusty wash all over the thing. Then I used maskol in some places and salt in others before a base coat. For a base coat I went with white and just a hint of deck tan. My goal is to use weathering to get it to the browns that it should be
Tomorrow I'm goint to make a few darker panels and some other bits off colour to make them seem like replacement parts.
The question I have is...when do I do the decals? I'd like to do an oil wash as well here. Will the decals survive the weathering over top?
I'm using acrylic. will I need a sealent? What about pastels?
I'm very comfortable with paint, but the mixed medium thing throws me off
