post shadowing require more precise and really low pressue to achieve the about the same level of shadowing as preshading...
I'd say go for preshading..
you will need spend some time to practice though as it's something easy to do than explain in words...

but that would mean i would be painting the base color right? if i will go for pre shadowing. am more of just doing weathering that's why post shadowing would be the option.
just want to know what's the difference really between the two, got a zoom shots of the two?

i see, i think i got the idea bro. . .
so is it really hard to make the spray that thin, to simulate a pre shadowing effect?

well you could if you are well experinced and have a high quality air brush but for me pre-shaidng is much easier to control... unless I need some dramatic shading for the diorama in such case post shading is the way to go.

yup i think i got it already sir, if you realy want a heavy shading it's post shadowing technique, but if you want to come up with a light shadings, you're right it's pre shadowing technique would be the way to go. well that is i just simulate it on windows paint program.  here :  given that i only have a limited airbrush style on windows paint to simulate i only acquire a regular single action ari brush, doing the post shadowing technique requires a lot of time for you should be very careful of you strokes. you need good skills to come up with a thin and clean shadowing. in comparison with the pre-shading. it' kinda very easy to achieve a thin and clean shadowing, cost fist you just outline the area you want to shadow, then you just clean off or thinned the shadows with the base color. it's much easire really, base on the simulation i did on windows paint. . . try it guys, it's a lot of fun to do. ;D |

the hard part is achieving the blending between the main colour and shadow... it's not as easy as you think.. with pre-shading it's far too easy to cover up completely and with post shading you can lay too much shadow...  |

but still i will be giving the part 3 coats, for it would be base color, pre shadow, the cleaning of with base color again.
am not planning to change the color scheme o the stock color the kit has, would it will be fine if i just start the part with pre shadows, then clean up with base color same color as the plastics? do you think this is a good idea?

if you look at Gundam Ground type above that is basic build with post shading only. no other colour was painted apart from flat top coat to kill off the plastic shine... you can do the pre-shading along the edges and then do the main body colour followed by some highlight at the centre of panel - add drop or two of white to your base colour to get the lighter tone - I do that to save me from cover entire panel in black for MAX style shading grab a cheap or junk kit and practice on it |

yup, but first have to get hold of a portable compressor and a good air brush. . . still can't find my big bros air brush, want to try it on a regular tyre compressor and go have a practice run. maybe using acrylic colours i got from national.
thank sir for your 411 on painting. . .
