The Making of Transformers : MAS-01 Optimus Prime 18'' Custom Weather by Putra Shining

Hi and welcome to Putaro Plastic Modeller. This is The Making of Optimus Prime Custom Weather by Putra Shining. Special thanks to Mr.Steven because giving me the permission to publish this article. However, because of this is a weathering service for customer i will not share to you guys everything, just some basics only, you guys just have to figure it out by yourself if you want to know.

I started from sketching on Photoshop how it should look, after agree with Mr.Steven, i bought the materials that need for this project, such as brushes, top coat, paints and other stuff. The paints that i used for this huge toy are mostly Citadel Paints.

The weathering that i applied are called Putaro's Weathering Style Technique (PWST) Level 2 which is includes shadow, scratches effects, oil dripping, dirt and small of rusty effects. I usually do the weathering with 3 big steps; Lining/shadow, Effects and Finishing. In these steps are divided 3 more steps for each steps. From these photos some are they you can see these step, some are not because i did not upload all the photos in details, just the basics to give the idea on what i did.
