Equipment

Paint Your kit contains all of the colours requiredto complete your Welcome Aboard Doctor WhoGift Set to an excellent standard, however, furthercolours can be used. (See page 19).

Brushes You can achieve excellent results with thebrushes provided in your model kit but if you wantto achieve a truly professional finish we recommend

the purchase of an additional size 000 brush forsuper fine detail.

Water We recommend two jars of water; a cleanjar for cleaning and thinning lighter tones of paint(e.g. Flesh, White and Yellow) and a dirty jar forcleaning darker tones of paint (e.g. Blue, Black andBrown).

Blotter A pad of Kitchen Towel or Newspaper tobrush excess paint on, or to absorb excess water ona freshly cleaned brush.

Watercolour Pencils Coloured pencils that u se aspecial pigment that dissolves in water to producewatercolour paint. By no means essential,Watercolour Pencils can be used to createspectacularly realistic effects on models.

Palette A surface for mixing paint. You can usecommercially available palettes, an old plate, a

piece of tinfoil or any non-absorbent material.

Technique Glossary

Brush Loading Dip the brush in the paint up toabout half the length of the bristles. Dont dip thebrush in too deeply or you will overload the brush.

Brush Cleaning Immerse the brush in a jar of waterstirring vigorously until the paint on the brushdissolves in the water. Ensure the brush is clean anddry by wiping it on your blotter and checking that thebrush does not leave any streaks of the old colour.

Basic Painting The process of covering the surfaceof the model with an even coat of paint. Try not tooverload the brush with too much paint as this canlead to runs and visible brush marks in addition todestroying fine details on the model. It is alwaysbetter to apply a few thin coats of paint rather thanto apply one thick one. The resulting coat of paintcan be referred to as the base or foundation coat.

Overbrushing The process of enhancing detail bybrushing paint onto the surface of a textured areawithout filling the recesses. Overbrushing is used onareas of a model such as hair and wood grain. ToOverbrush you need to ensure that your brush is notoverloaded by wiping away a little paint andensuring the paint is not too watery. Pull the brushgently over the model with the bristles flat to thesurface of the model being careful not to fill therecesses.

Drybrushing The process of enhancing detail bybrushing high/low lights onto the surface of themodels. Drybrushing is used on areas of a modelwhere subtle textures need to be enhanced. It canbe used to re-create denim, dirt, metal, hair andmany other finishes. To Drybrush you need to load

your brush and then repeatedly wipe the brush onyour blotter until only a faint mark is produced.Stroke the brush lightly and quickly over the surfaceof the model building up subtle shades of colour.

Washing The process of enhancing detail bybrushing highly viscous (wet) paint over the surfaceof the model filling detail recesses with paint.Washing is used to enhance detail by allowing theshading of large areas quickly. Create washes bymixing water and paint in a ratio of six parts ofwater to four parts of paint. Adding a drop ofwashing up liquid to the paint will produce asmoother more evenly distributed coat and adding adrop of PVA glue will gather the pigment togethercreating a stronger contrast.

Painting techniquesThere are a wide variety of painting techniques that can be employed to enhance your

Welcome Aboard Doctor Who Gift Set. In this painting guide we will firstly outline these

techniques and then show you where best to use them.
