What are the pros and cons of edging?
Edging looks neater than drybrushing, but is harder to get right and looks artificial because the highlight has a hard edge. The most common mistake with edging is to paint the highlight is too thick. Edging also doesn?t work where the model doesn?t have well defined edges. It’s best employed on vehicles and weapons, where you want to want to retain the base color but still suggest the light catching the edges. Edging is relatively quick, but more experienced modelers tend to use it only as a finishing technique.
