Learning to Paint... Again with Daleks
Painting Bumps
So when looking at painting back in day, I was very linear in my approach, put on the primer then main colour then details, so things like the bumps on the Dalek Skirts would be done later in the stages.
With much cursing and painting over slips, again and again, until got it right for 6 inchs away then 3ft away never even noticed…
These days I try and do things a little smarter, and with more of an idea of the easier way of doing things. Soooo I do the undercoat which is either the colour of the bumps or go blobing them on and then paint around them is the trick, minimal touch ups and done.
So the question is not how to paint the bumps on, but that you end up painting around them. So undercoat then bumps first then main colours is the approach I’ve gone for. Think its working as less cursing and faff than I recall.
