Mark Aldrich Posted September 5, 2009 Report Share Posted September 5, 2009 Pat, The easiest and oldest way is dry brushing. There is also the use of pastels and chalks. Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimHortman Posted September 6, 2009 Report Share Posted September 6, 2009 I'll second the drybrushing. I've found that is the easiest way, and the one that lasts the longest. (it's been my experience that I end up losing the chalk/pastel that I put on things) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Aldrich Posted September 6, 2009 Report Share Posted September 6, 2009 I use chalks and pastels sparingly. The main reason is that I am not that good with them. Once you are happy, you have to clear coat or they do come off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Bell Posted September 6, 2009 Report Share Posted September 6, 2009 For tools and such, I paint them a slightly different shade of the base color (assuming they are not bare metal). Paint color can look different on different surfaces and materials. Then drybrush them a lighter shade of the color they are painted. For seats, I go along with the rest of the crowd with drybrushing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Bun E. Carlos Posted September 12, 2009 Report Share Posted September 12, 2009 Pat........try spraying a basecoat, then spraying a lighter shade for contrast, either in the center to the edges or the edges to the center. Follow it up with a couple of contrasting colors of drybrushing...Greens/Yellow....Browns/red.......Gray/White........Yellows/Whites.......I find oils works good for blending. If you like, try some pigments. For reference, try ordinary life. Look at vehicles such as Construction Equipment and pick up trucks.........you pick up a lot of mental images that way..........For Flesh Tones, I try that site that Gil Hodges reccomended........awwwwwwwnevermind.
