-LET'S BEGIN-

Do yourself a favor and print your models in Black filament, it's not necessary but it will save you some time and primer.

Now we're going to do a dry brush using the cheap makeup brush I got mine at a dollar store.

Use the makeup brush like any other dry brush technique but be a little bit more rough with it.

Use a brown on the lighter side for your first coat. Be messy, even stabbed it with the brush.

For the next coat using metallic paint. Same dry brush technique but be a little bit more uniform.

Now we're going to move on to coloring. Pick out a color and a very undesirable brush. Why a undesirable brush, you'll see in a second.

You want to stab the brush only on the paneling and make sure you have a clear separation of each panel as you can see in the example photo.

When using this technique make sure there's not too much paint on your brush, you can always add more if there's not enough. It's kind of like dry brushing but you're stabbing instead.

Side note use a smaller brush in the smaller areas with the same technique.

To get some variety make some areas more patchy than other.

To give it some more variety paint a couple areas with different colours or metallics.

Now it's time to give it more pop. grab that toothpick and metallic paint and let's get going.

Start dabbing all the bolts and highlight around the edges of the panels. It doesn't have to be clean, you want a messy variety.

Almost done.

Start rubbing that pastel into a piece of paper and get a little pile of pigment.

Grab that undesirable brush and starts stabbing.

Done!
