Is block dying when you coat the areas to be painted red in laquer first before applying the red, to make it brighter? Or is it something completely different?

Here is a tutorial Tom wrote some time ago about the block dyeing technique.

Brilliant! Thank you Marcel (and Tom!)

Thank yoy Marcel!!! I hope that I linke to CitizenKates tutorial in my tut. That's what got me started with doing blockdyeing.

A fun technique to work with and very exciting, it can ruin your work easily if you load up your sponge with too much dye.

Very cool work, Tom! Someday, when I get brave enough to try real tooling, I'd like to try that block dying method. For now, I'll just marvel at your use of it

Thanks Noah!!! Yeah the block dye tecnique is fun to work with. The secret lays mostly in the tooling, pay attention to any unintentionally raised areas and go over the cuts with a modeller to try and get them as even as possible.

excellent tom...i always enjoy your work

Thx Roo..same to you :-)
