I posted a question not long ago on a modeling site about chipped paint (I didn't believe it was an accurate portrayal of WW II armor)and at least 80% of the people said chipped paint was accurate and correct, one guy posted pictures of a real tank with chipped paint and was vehement that it was a proper way to weather tanks.
I could never understand how this effect is so popular as I've never seen color photos of WW II tanks and vehicles with this on them, and relying on black/white photos is even more un-reliable.
I have no issue with people using this effect but if I choose not to do it on my models, will people look at my model as less accurate? Some people will never be convinced this effect is only asthetic.
Couldn't resist jumping in on this one...Paul |
