Worn effects (chipping)

[MatBarron]

Here is my how-to guide to chipping paint.....




Stage 1
Nice and simple, just undecorated black.



Stage 2
The 'metal effect'. This was done by spraying Alclad Chrome at 15psi directly over the black.

More to follow.

Stage 2.5
At this stage you want to seal the base coat, I use a gloss varnish. Then apply the AK Interactive solution using an airbrush at about 10 - 15 psi. Cover the whole model with this.



Stage 3
Paint you top colour, in this case yellow for the Imperial Fists.



Stage 4
Using a stiff( ish) drybrush wet the area you want to chip, let it soak for a few seconds then start to gently rub the area...



Hope this helps.

Has anyone tried hair spray chipping method yet I'm debating using it on my wall of martyrs?

[MatBarron]

Yes I have, the results weren't as consistent as the AK Interactive stuff (or anywhere near as good). I reckon you would need at least two pots of AK as long as you where selective where you applied the chipping fluid...
