Accurascale Cemflo. Step 2 - Oxidisation.

The bright shiny aluminium bodies of Cemflos soon turned dull through the oxidisation of the metal surface. My original plan was to represent this by using Testor's Dullcote, but a friend mentioned that he planned to apply a coat of Lifecolor Tensocrom White Oxide to his models, so I thought I'd unashamedly copy his idea. Very little of what weathering I do is my own idea, nearly everything is copied from somewhere or somebody else.

 

Tensocrom acrylic paints are semi-opaque colours that are designed to allow you to put on transparent layers to slowly discolour the model surface. Each coat applied will deepen the effect. It's difficult (for me) to capture the effect on camera, but here is the finished result:

I've seen Tensocrom on some military modelling videos, how was it to use, do you think it could be used to fade colours etc?

Simple to use, straight from the jar. 16/17 PSI gives quick, even coverage. It is very suitable for fading colours, although a bit stark.
