I'm new to plastic models and want to detail features with washes. Never did washes and need help. Any help, comments, ideas warmly welcomed.
Washes as previously answered are basically thinned paint. To add another dimension is to use “dry brushing” it is the opposite of a wash and it hi lites the raised sections. Base color, a wash followed by dry brushing will ad amazing detail to you builds. You may also consider a combination of finishes (gloss and flat) to add more realism depending on what it is you are detailing.I'm new to plastic models and want to detail features with washes.

Don’t think I mentioned drybrusing is best done with a flat end brush. And it should also be a shade lighter or darker than the base coat. So you will have base coat, wash (usually darker then base) And finally dry brush with a lighter or darker shade of base color( depends on the effect and the environment ) you are trying o to achieve.Thanks for the dry brushing technique. I'll give it a try
