Hello All,
Playing around with the AK Color Modulation sets and thought I would post some pics. The kit is a "Wedgie" from Darious Miniatures from Poland.
First image shows Aplication of primer and Dunkelgelb Shadow

Second shows a liberal aplication of Dunkelgelb dark base, avoiding only the lower hull.


Followed by Dunkelgelb base focused more on the upper surfaces.

By this point you can realy start to see the depth created with the color modulation style. The features of the vehicle start to come to life. Shown here is the use of Dunkelgelb High Light.

To realy give an excelent amount of visual interest to the base coat, an very light Dunkelgelb is added to the edges of the top of horisontal surfaces and leading edges.

Here you can see how a layer of Satin Varnish brings everything together.


This shows base coat only and already it has an interesting look. Next? Weathering...the best part!

A nice visual for the effects of color modulation.

like the colour build up

Iain - Nice results. What sort of guidance does the kit provide? I understand the concept of color modulation, but at the end of the day paint is paint. It's what you choose to do with it ...

Thats a fantastic effect. Very nicely done Iain.
Like Bill I'd like to know what kind of guidance is offered with the kit?

Mig- if you are reading- do you and AK plan to introduce any other colors in the modulation range?

Thanks for the kind words guys.
Bill: The Color Modulation sets have a photo guide on the back. This is very helpfull to understanding how to use each color to build up to the final base color with highlights & shadows & direct reflections for sure. I would say that you are dead right, as modelers we are in control of the paint.....it goes where we tell it to go. No "black magic". Is like driving a car, if you do not control the car and just wish it will get you to your final destination, it will not. If you take control and tell it where to go and control it every step of the way, you will get to your final destination every time. Same with paint, it only does what you tell it to do......no more, no less.

Karl Hoy,
We are working on NEW color ranges for the Color Modulation sets right now! As soon as these are released we will let you know for sure!
Right now, we have "Dunkelbelb" for german & "4BO Russian Green" for Russian vehicles. More to come............

Iain this is a very good guide as to what can be achieved with this product.

Cheers Iain, thats great news!
