Weathering Models – Dr. Walter Laseter
The clinic would be for weathering models. In real life, houses or buildings are not without flaws. Many, especially in cities, are dirty. Buildings in the country are often broken down or rickety. What we will try to do is to give your model-building a more realistic appearance. This is done through weathering. Most of the necessary items will be provided. Items like walls, powders, brushes, alcohol ink, clay, gloves, tools, and shrubbery will be provided. If you want to bring your own model, feel free to bring a small one you want to work on. This is a hands-on clinic. This clinic is limited to 20 participants. Sign-ups will be at the registration desk.
