driver figure paint advice

Recommended Posts

 I know each and every person in the wide wide world of Tamiya absolutely adores the use of driver figures;) but Does anyone know which X or XF pot is closest to denim? Err the Levi`s variety not the 1970`s splash on for us pulling machines:lol:

Xf-18 isnt far off.

Unless you an want 80s stone washed look then you will need something lighter

I used xf-18 it on Mathew McConaugheys legs

fwiw. I find the best way to replicate denim is to use a darker base coat, then go over it with a semi-dry brush in a slightly lighter blue to give it more texture and depth... You can use the same blue as the base, just add a drop of white or beige and mix it for the subsequent coat.

This technique works with other colours too of course if you are trying to replicate the texture of cloth in general - but with denim I'd suggest it is particularly effective.
