How can a Cola-Cola can be used for plating plastic model hull?
How can I create such a wonderful effect that would consist of many tiny elements (or many effects added) to get armour plating on a ship,without using 2500 elements and glue them together?
Here is the effect:
I’ll paint the plastic model then after I lean how to make such tiny rectangles and squares.
I thought originally to get Cola can,cut it,glue it and polish it.
Someone has an idea how to achieve it other way?
Fine wit those decals,but I need to make it from plates of similar size. Maybe it’s crazy,but further my other craziness is to make it fly starting from the ground,so the model must be strong enough and that will do,so any ideas more?
That sounds way insane and difficult. What you’re looking for is called an Aztec pattern. You can either paint it by hand,or go hear and download some templates for making your own decals. Save you a lot of headaches that way,I think.
