So amongst my recent order of several paints and a few books from GW, I ordered a stippling brush as well. Always liked some of the mud/rust effects I've seen people use on their vehicles and I thought I'd give it a go. Any pointers on using this thing? I've only got a vague working idea... haha

Nope lol. Iv always just used an old brush with the bristles snipped really short. I suppose the key is the same as all other painting. Dont use too much paint, and build it up.

Short, sharp stabbing movements, and a s mentioned build up layers for realism. Stippling looks best used with other techniques, so dont write off drybrushing and washes just yet! Also, mud effects etc are wonderful, although start off with small amounts as they are concentrated pigmaents, so a little goes a long way. If youre getting serious with your painting, pick up the 'how to paint tanks' book, its got lots of tips in to make great vehicles with simple painting techniques. The forgewold model masterclass book is beyond awesome, although it does require a lot of wierd and wonderful materials for the techniques, and the techniques themselves can take a bit of getting used to! Hope this helps  |
