I’ve been busy for the past couple of days and finally managed to make significant progress in my painting. All of the parts are painted with base black. The white armor have been spray painted with white while leaving the edges slightly darker color to enhance the edge. The trick to do this kind of airbrush painting is to start spraying in a circular motion starting from the center and gradually moving out. Be careful not to over spray the edges. If for some reason you spray the edges the only thing you can do is to repeat the whole process i.e. respray it with the base color.

The base color may not necessarily be black. You can use a totally different color. In my case, the base color for the white armor is dark brown.. the reason I use the color is to give a dirt like outline of the edges.

Another thing I learn from doing this is that the parts looks so much better with this technique as oppose to without using the highlighting technique. Not to mention it is much more challenging and interesting. The hard work really pays off…
