I took a course on modding and weathering models until they look realistic, aged and weathered. It was a fun premise - get a toy and make it look like a piece of art. The course was taught by Seth, an amazing miniature artist.
Here's the original model:
I did a a few things I've never done before, and a few others I've never done nearly as successfully. I added addinional panel lines to the model, underpainted the panel lines in black on top of white, then glazed the model into taking shape. Weathering was done before and after the glaze, to show several layers of age.
But more than anything, it was just fun to take a model I didn't care about and go ham.
I'll post more of my pictures at the bottom of the post, but here are a few pics from other attendees of the course. It looks like I don't have closeups from all the pieces! I'm sorry to those that I've missed, I fully expected to have taken a pic of each piece. Luckily there are more pics that Seth uploaded at https://www.instagram.com/p/B7hziDsnpE5.
And finally here's mine. Do note that I've spent a few hours touching up some mistakes after the course, and that I took these pictures with a much better camera. Thanks for looking!
