I have been working on the Razors Crest. I decided not to gloss coat but to use inks to highlight the panels instead of my usual oil wash. I thin the inks with water and a tiny bit of dishwashing liquid. That breaks surface tension and improves flow. I used GW Black Ink and brown India ink from the stationary shop. The ink is very subtle so some lines and panels got multiple layers.
I used undiluted brown and blue ink on the exhausts to get a “heated metal” (annealed?) look.
Next step is to pick out a few panels and change the shade by polishing with grafite powder or drybrushing. The build is a bit to clean at the moment.
I had to break down and grab a couple of AK Interactive 3rd Gen metallics and the Vallejo metallic (Magnesium). Didn’t want to grab Alclad due to their high prices.
