Hello Friends,
Well, practice makes perfect so.......I used a pallet model to practice some ways to enhance a winter white wash. The model has been spilt in half to give more surface area to experiment with different colors and finishes. The experiment was to test some finishes achieved by feeding A.K. Interactive weathering products through an airbrush. The results with the AK014 "Winter Streaking Grime" are an impresive way to add some richness to the otherwise bland finish!
This image shows a white wash over dunkelgelb. Tamiya White in various density.

Second image shows some chipping and washes.....

Aplication of AK014 "Winter Streaking Grime" to the lower edges....

The final result! The mist applied to the lower edges adds more texture and ties the washes and streaks together.

Let me know what you guys think of the effect.

I really like the effect Iain. I'm going to have to give some of this Streaking Grime stuff a try.
The streaks down from the top edge look really nice too. What did you use for that and how did you do it?

Matt,
Thanks for the kind words, I am glad that you like it. The streaks were created using "Streaking Grime" & "Winter Streaking Grime" as well as Windsor Newton "Sap Green" oils. Using a fine brush, each color is applied as very thin vertical lines varying in length and width. Once they have dried for 10 - 15 minutes, they are pulled from top to bottom with a chisel brush moistened with white spirit. The process was repeated until I was satisfied with the results. An excelent characteristic of the AK products is that you can remove the effects with white spirit if you make a mistake!

HEY Lian. THAT is sweet! I'm new to this stuff. My first effort was a T34 in winter camo. The title of your post caught my eye. I don't know why, but i seem to try new things on a current project. Jackass, for sure. Anyway... got me thinking. Thanks for taking the time to post, and show some of your work. RONNY.
