Recipe I use for my 15mm battlegroup soviet force based on one of the Jic's recipes which I modified a little bit.
- I usually modulate by creating gradients on large flat surfaces and highlighting the centers of panels hatches and other details - the goal is contrast which is crucial at this scale
- I highlight all the sharp edges es well as details like hatches, rivets, seams etc - time consuming but worth it in my opinion
- at this moment the model will look pretty garish but that's intentional - an enamel wash and weathering will knock it a couple notches down. I also basecoat other parts such as vision devices tools and others at this point
- Apply decals if applycable here
- You are pretty much done you can proceed with other weathering you might like before applying matt varnish and finishing up the rest of the detailing on the vehicle
