You’re supposed to start with black layer then do a yellow/brown layer then the egg shell white, then fine details? I searched but can’t seem to find how this process goes.
I’m looking for this as well.

Here are the colors used, it’s pretty self explanatory and easy to do once you get the idea.

Thank you very much. Someone also gave me this photo. I already did my first rehaul but all good info for my next one

There is a lot more to it that he doesn’t mention.

What sealant does he use, if you don’t mind sharing?

I wonder if there’s a real difference is between buying those paints and just buying some premium latex paint available at most hardware stores for a lot cheaper by the oz, especially considering you can just choose the colors you need rather than having to buy the whole set. Nightshades has cool names like fright white, black sabbath and redrum, but in the end we’re just talking about white, black, red, cream, gold-ish, brown/grey, and brown. And of course you could just mix white, black, and brown to get the brown/grey.

Regular latex paints are much thicker and will just clog you airbrush. You’d have to stop every ten minutes to clean the airbrush.

I’m not 100% sure if he used all of these colors simply because nightshades isn’t the only thing he used.

I didn’t even use an airbrush on mine. Just thinned out the latex paint a bit and dry brushed the white then the yellow stain then the finer points with the detailer brushes. Chris said in the magazine that he dry brushed the white coat over the soot layer but beyond that not sure where he used the airbrush.

He used an airbrush very little.

It seems like it because airbrushing leaves a very smooth look but the screen used masks all seem to have a rough and jagged texture to them.

Man those screen used masks have yet to be nailed 100%. A lot have come close. Maybe 95%.

Seems like Chris Nelson is the only one who really knows how. I saw the tots rehaul he made for We Watched A Movie and even that one was insane. I enjoy seeing everyone else’s copies too though. A lot of them are really good. But yeah Chris’s stuff is next level.

I don’t have night shade so do you know what kind of colors would simulate Ghoul, Decomp, and dirt nap?

Yellow, brown, grey to make the ghoul color (gold), or just buy some gold mixed already and mix more grey and brown into it if necessary. Decomp and dirt nap are just a couple of shades of brown. Decomp would need more grey. Dirt nap could possibly need white. Try to match the colors as best you can when you buy them that way it requires less mixing.

Does he use washes for toning the mask itself? I’ve thought about this since it starts off as a dirty white, then to more yellow, then to more green as the movies progress. Maybe he’s just changing the color of the dry brushed paint itself?
