Post-Shading refers to a technique used to add depth, definition and weathering effects to a model's paint job. It is a method commonly employed in aircraft, armour and vehicle modelling, as well as other subjects such as ships or figures.
Post-shading involves applying additional layers of paint or pigments to a base coat in order to create shadows, highlights, and tonal variations. The technique aims to replicate the natural play of light and shadow on the surface of the model, making it appear more realistic.
