It certainly does. Can’t wait to see what else I can do on future builds.

You are very welcome. Looking forward to exploring more techniques on future builds.

It take so much time but the final result is worth it

It certainly is. Took a out triple the time a book nook normally takes me but the finished product was definitely worth it.
I love this method and it looks perfect on your build. I have attempted blotching but not done as well! I do use a dry brush technique that goes good but man this looks nice! Thanks for sharing!

Wow, this is such a clever technique! I love how you’ve taken edge painting beyond simple outlining and started blending the colors to match the actual printed details. The blotching and wiping technique gives the edges so much more depth and character, especially for an underwater scene like Discover Atlantis. And I love that you can simply paint over it and try again if something doesn’t work. Definitely a technique worth trying on future builds!

That’s such a clever way to take edge painting to another level! I love the idea of blending and wiping the acrylic pens to keep that natural, weathered underwater feel instead of making the edges look too uniform. It looks like a technique worth trying!

Thank you. How do you dry brush when there is no raised relief to dry brush over?
I apply the paint or color acrylic marker on to stiff brush. Take that brush over paper a few times, the lightly brush on to surface. I can then go back to the paper and run brush over a few times and go back to surface.
Similar to what we did in ceramics. and you kind of build up color to what you need. I have done this on a few kits, especially when I want a touch of gold

Ahh I see. I am kind of doing that on Anarvins Whispering Hollow at the moment. My darkest green is still not dark enough on the edges, but I have a black paint pen that the tip is all old and feathered and barely gets any ink and I run that back and forth for a while and it slowly darkens it without leaving obviously black everywhere.

exactly! I also used that technique when I did the bigger Cheers bar. I did not like the bright orange walls. I wanted a bit dimmer look. So I dry brushed some browns and darker oranges on the wall to help tone it down a bit

I’ve seen that model. Talk about TV nostalgia. .
I loved cheers and probably saw every episode a ton of times!

Wow, what mastery! You get the edges to match the colors of the pieces exactly!
