How to built and weather a Gundam,Lesson 5:Bullet holes my style

Welcome April,Its time for more Gundam hehehe...
school is open again this time i'm going to show you guys how i do my bullet holes effect

You need at least 2-4 tooth pick depending on how many holes you wanted to make.Make sure you cut the pointy edge so that you wouldn't literally make a hole on your Gundam

I also use a Gundam marker to add the after effect, like gun powder effect

Before i start making any holes i need to mark the area i wanted to work on.You could use pencil or marker to mark the areas

Using a candle i lit the tooth pick on fire and just blow out the fire so only the ember is left.

Then using the ember you just stab your Gundam repeatedely on the marked area.Don't stab your Gundam too hard though, or else you will end up with a Holy Gundam Hahahahahaha......

After i apply the Silver or chrome marker or paint,i used the Gundam weathering marker GM29.(which will give you a charred effect)

After that i can use a chrome silver marker or paint to paint the holes so you would have the effect of real-like bullet holes.(Do this first before applying the Gundam weathering marker)

After applying the Gundam marker

Now i have finished modding him.Time to take him for an outdoor shooting,soon

Leave a comment before you leave,Arigato guys

How to built and weather a Gundam Lesson 4:Weathering muddy effect

Hello guys again,sorry for not updating lately.Yes i had a problem with the internet connection but fortunately now it is all fixed but unfortunately school already starts so i'm really busy.
So enjoy learning

I continued dry brushing some of the parts till it looks like this




As always to weather my Gundam i use the Gundam weathering marker set

So where do i get my ideas from? hmm.... its here in this magazine that i bought last year.It the Hobby Japan series 2... i think

I seriously need a thinner to perfect my weathering skill

All my techinque is derived from this magazine well not all but some

If you can read Chinese than you're lucky because 90% of this magazine is written in Chinese

This is the sooted parts which i copied

Wow that looks like a real dirt

I just wish i have the skills to do a Guntank like this one

How did he do this?can anyone tell me.How do you do a weathering like the paint has been scratched off,just like this picture

Now my turn to shine
First of all i use the light brown marker and dry brushed it on the wheels and side skirt just like in the magazine
Then i use the darker marker and dry brushed it on the lower parts of the side skirt to set a different tone to the mud effect so that the higher you get the lighter the tone should be and the lower you get the darker the tone of the mud should be

Get it

Same goes here

For this effect i use the black weathering marker which is to create soot effects.I know its ugly but this is just a test

90% done.











Now all i need to do is to add some bullet holes.Ciao
