Smoke, Exhaust Stains and Pigment Effects Griffon Falke 27

Hello friends!

This is a big little moment - we made it! Build Log 27 to give you some ideas and tips on exhaust stains, smoke and pigment effects.

Overall, my plan for this masterclass series was to provide you a deep dive look into what it takes to get the Griffon Falke finish I've shared with you. Tips, tricks, solid timeless techniques but also the ideas behind them, the philosophy and as much of the "why?" that I could fit in.

I do hope that this serves as a reference for many of the small steps taken and apply them to different models too - it's a great series to put onto medium to larger models and vehicles.

Here are the paints used in the first step;
