Excellent work!!
Have one on me!
sehr gute Arbeit
In another forum it was mentioned that weathering in this scale can be tricky. I figured my response might have some value here.
I have a sort of rule of thumb for weathering any subject. I take the scale and reduce it around 10% and consider that the distance I am viewing the subject from in feet. So the 1/144 foot uboat in this case would be weathered as if I was looking at it from 130 feet away. This gives a better effect when looking at a model as things are more in scale. For this example I used no actual rust tones since at that distance you simply would not see the actual colours it would just be botches that are different than the surrounding paint. If this was a 1/72 boat it would be a 60 foot viewing distance and you would actually see individual rust colors but they would still be blended and not stark against the rest of the paint. If this was a 1/24 scale boat (it would be huge of course) then you would see each steak of rust, chips, scrapes, etc since the “view” would be from only 20 feet away.
Does this make any sense at all?
Stupid forum screwed me 3 times and now I gotta type it a third time…
I’m not doing this again.
Well, I do it a different way. Hope this helps.
1/144…
Viewed at one foot (the distance I usually build at)
That is how it would look at 144 feet
I use this for all scales.
