Again a masterpiece with great background information! Thanks for sharing Marius!

Patrick Hagelstein
Phabulous build! Good save for that paint job. The post shading did a lot to remedy the missed pre shading.

Marius Author
Thank you Sebastian and Patrick! I am happy that the short article was of interest!

@Patrick: I personally noticed for myself, that the blending of weathering oils and postshading are more relevant and visible than the too subtle preshading. I am slowly considering to eliminate any complex preshading

Neuling
Long ago I had a short flirt with preshading ............. 🙂

Jennifer Franklin
Looks amazing, very nice build

Fantastic build and gorgeous pre-shading.

However, I think pre-shading is only viable for single coat paint schemes. Camo usually requires multiple coats which covers up all the hard work.

Don't eliminate the technique, just use it more sparingly 🙂

Hey Marius, great again! 👍

Marius Author
Thank you Oleg, Bhm Dhn and Jennifer!

@Bhm Dhn: I am personally very careful with applying camo over pre-shading by using a 0.2mm airbrush nozzle and starting with the camo edges until they are solid enough. This time I just messed up the colours and had to redo everything. Here is one other recent example where things went well:
