Dave, I am wondering if you have given your bird a coat of metalizer first and then the main colour over the top. ?
As I like doing that with the Testors metlaizer because the metalizer will allow a better 'chipping and flaking' result, because the metalizer wont 'hold' the top coat down. 🙂
This technique is great for armour as well. 🙂

I think you meant Carlos, but I like that idea

Thanks for the comments guys! Kerry I just used Tamiya X-11, after that some chipping effects from Ammo.. Works great, first time using this product and really happy with the results.,but iII'll check out your technique with a SBD Dauntless that I have in hold.. Big fan of your work by the way! 🙂

Carlos, That's nice of you to compliment my work mate, I appreciate it a great deal. 🙂
I "discovered' the fact that the Testors buffing metalizer will not let the normal paints (Enamel and Acrylic) 'adhere' to it at all.
Especially after it has been "Buffed". :-/
Finding that the paint will easily chip and or flake off.
So now, instead of 'dry brushing' my chipped and worn paint work on armoured and aircraft surfaces, I just apply some gentle pressure on the areas I want to have the bare metal appear from under the paint is achieved with your finger nails.
As little or as much as you desire.
🙂
Cheers. 🙂

Well done Carlos, like Christian M. wrote, it looks like a lot bigger scale. I like the gentle and convincing chipping
and weathering. Excellent piece of work !
