Advanced Tips: hinting at detail to fill gaps

Submitted by admin on Tue, 10/13/2015 - 14:50

There are holes in models where no detail is provided and you don't have time, or the reference pictures, to fill that detail in properly. This is where "hinting" comes in. The Author calls it hinting because you're putting something in to make the viewer's eye think there is some detail there when really you've just put some shapes and bits to fill those gaps.

Thanks to Scale Model Medic channel on youtube for this great video.
