EXTREME Battle Damage    


[Science!]

Tip:

   Rather than simply melting or painting on battle damage, do the extreme, actually cut out the hull, build the decks and damage them. For a 1/1400 scale model, all you would see are the rooms with maybe a table, chairs are too small, for 1/537 you can do the chairs and lil bits of "stuff"

When making the levels, don't forget the "guts" and all the supports, wiring and greeblies. For Ent-D I use the actual B-prints do make the rooms.

And for painting, actually paint the rooms as they would normally appear, and air-brush black into them at the angle of impact, to give it that charred look. Pic out details with dark and progressivly lighter grey. It looks good, and allows people to see the inner working of the craft, allowing for a hightened sense of realism.
