Troop of Shewe said...: certainly, nothing special used, simple black background, steel grey insert, lighten with flesh ( not white) water down and apply slight wash to top left or top right corners, then along the bottom to simulate dust. I then apply a second dust layer, and just miss out the wiper bits on the windscreen. There is more you can do, but that was all for these. I've seen the horizon techniques and blue background but these fall into the cartoony categories which doesn't fit with my style, but is an equally valid approach, and arguably probably will show up better on the table.; 21 July 2011 16:44

Thomas Nissvik said...: Watered-down flesh to simulate dust, did I get that right? Or do you use flesh to lighten the mix with the grey?; 22 July 2011 09:00

Troop of Shewe said...: flesh to lighten the grey, it works better than white.Dust can be any colour, accordinging to your weathering regime.; 24 July 2011 20:42
