Modelling Tip Of The Day – 28

Modelling Tip Of The Day – 28

This Modelling Tip Of The Day is an ongoing series, in which we’ll be posting a modelling tip that may be of use to the newbie right up to the seasoned modeller.

Today’s tip is:

Colouring Edges

On some card kits once constructed with the likes of Metcalfe kits, have exposed edges which can let a card kit down. One way to hide the exposed edges is to colour them in. Use a coloured pencil, felt tip pen, or even paint. Gently rub a pencil, felt tip pen along the bare exposed edge, this blends the edge in with the surrounding walls. With paint, use the dry brushing method to colour in the exposed edges.

Another method is to use texture sheets, & laser cut cornerstones which we’ll take a look at in a forthcoming article.
