In a nutshell, this is what your workshop is all about:
This is a workshop designed by Lester aimed at armour modellers with some experience and want to take their armour weathering to the next level. This is a very practical hands-on workshop where you get to work on your own model and take it away at the end of the day with all the great effects Lester will help you master.
Just a note…if you attended either of Lester’s last SMN workshops at then this workshop will build on what you learned there making this an ideal follow-on day.
This is what Lester will be covering
Realistic scratches and chipping
Realistic dust effects
How are the workshops run?
Plenty of demonstrations by your group tutor along with skills practice for you! That means individual help and coaching to help you practice and develop your skills with tips and advice, all in a friendly and supportive environment. Just ask anyone who’s attended one of Lester’s workshops and do take a look at what others have said before – just follow the link from this page. Here’s a note from Lester to help you prepare and what to bring with you on the day…
