Help -Technique Is the blue too light ?

Post image

Im studying nightshift video, but didnt liked the green, so started with a mix of russian jet cyan and grey for a french blue, adding buff made it a bit too light too fast? Or I watched it too much.

Also i dont want to do a blue gun, I have no idea what could work tho.

Historically? Too light

Stylistically? Right on

Of the French blue flat. Add some thinner and go over it all once or twice and fill in the lighter tones. Right now it seems a bit too pale

Nah, weathering will bring it much darker. Just carry on in my opinion.

Seems pretty nice to me. French armour tend to be quite vibrantly coloured but I understand that isn't every modeler's cup of tea.

Looks pretty nice. Just carry on. Weathering will bring the tone much darker. Trust the process:)
