Did copy the 80s Badab War Tiger Claws style of tiger stripes. It looked pretty rad to me.

[@goforitpainting]

Cool

[@ironbomb6753]

I think I'd be neat to follow these old painting guides on models now, but you'd have to use paint from that era. The new paints are light-years better than those paints they used. And, washing bare metal in your chosen color was a thing. I still have some figures i painted like that.❤

[@richtheunstable3359]

Despite almost never blending on large areas I have tried it, it has been fairly forgiving and a few coats gets you there. I like the look of black lining but am not tidy enough and f**K it up. Same as I f**K up edge highlighting.

[@bradt5414]

Blending is a basic concept. However in practice not so much.
