wonderful brush work. such a film shows that without expensive airbrushes you can create a miracle with calmness and thoughtful work. I usually screw up my work by rushing. Because I always want to catch up with other projects, and then I don't start another one, I just wash off the paint for a long time and start from the beginning
Great looking build and brush painted too ! I was attached to VA-146 in the 70's on the USS Constellation and it was a great aircraft to operate. Your build captured the look perfectly, thank you for your fine build on the Corsair II !
There are not many brush painters out there, but you are by far the best in my opinion. Your painting skills and techniques is great, your film-making and commentary is user friendly and your signature music makes an artistic atmosphere. Keep up the great work. Greetings from fellow modeler and brush painter.
I loved this kit, it was well deigned, fit wa great and they didnt waste too much time making you guess how parts lines up. i also noted your sharpie trick which i use as well.
I'm just starting a few WWII projects by brush. This was very helpful. I'm not sure airbrushing would have turned out much better! It really looks like a jet that has flown many sorties.
Endlich habe ich Anleitungen für eine Pinselbemalung 🙏gefunden… Der Beweis, dass es auch ohne Airbrush geht - und trotzdem ein super Ergebnis👍🏻… geliked und Abonniert.
hi, beautifully painted. I had a problem with varnish, if I apply it at least a little diluted, then it gathers in drops, but if I apply it undiluted, then very noticeable brush marks remain. What do you recommend?
Thank you as always for sharing; In general, for water based Acrylic Paints, what have you found to be the overall recommended brand? (selection, price, availability); As well, if I want to have a Gloss Finish on a scale auto, is it just varnishing at the end? or add a Gloss Medium to the paint? Your support is welcomed.
Vallejo Model Color and Revell Aqua are great acrylic paints. I would avoid AMig. Haven't build cars yet. There are paints which have a gloss finish. Or you put a gloss varnish over the paint. Polishing compound can be useful as well. And some paints are affected by the surface primer as well. Ex. for metal colors are good to use gloss black surface primer.
Amig is the worst acrylic paint for brush painting I have come across so far. It shrinks, and creates a lot of small dots on the surface. It is probably airbrush optimized.
Do you have any tips and tricks on how to paint this great with a brush? I really do not want to buy an $80 Airbrush and not know how to use it however I have some experience with a regular brush. Also where do you buy your paints from, Micheals, HobbyLobby, or some other store? Also, great job on these models I never knew this was possible with a brush!
I notice your brushes look like wide synthetic watercolor artist brushes. Which brush brand/bristle size/ types gives best finish if I’d like to try. Clearly I’m using the wrong type
That is The most impressive brushwork i have ever seen on a model. I really admire your patience, because The ONLY way with acrylics, is to apply MANY thin cotes. Thank you very much for The video. Hope to see more😊. Many greetings from Denmark.
Is there a “best paint brand”/ thinner combo for brushwork? Usually used model masters enamels but now trying Vallejo acrylics, tamiya and AKinteractive
Thx for this build. I'm back at modelling after a long break. Was a child/teen back then With not the same quality expectations. Starting back with 1/72 for a restart, but as you show nice results brush only (dont want all the faff about airbrushes) I'm confident that after a few shitty model (first one is absolutely awfull 😅) I'll be able to do a convincing 1/48 of my favorites aricrafts. Thanks again for the sharing. Looking forward for new videos
Beautifully done. I have been trying to get “airbrush-like” finishes and weathering w brushwork for a few years now but end up always a little disappointed. Is there a best paint for using brush or best brush type? I have been using model masters enamel and also acrylic, thinning it down, weathering over gloss coat, dry brushing, and trying to pre shade/post shade to achieve the weathered paint look but my weathering still seems more “brush splotchy” on close examinations suggestions?
Beautiful work. Thank you for posting. And, thank you for showing HOW to achieve your results. I have an airbrush. But, no time, nor place, to use it. The cleaning after every use is very time consuming. So, it is rattle can or brush. 😊
Nice video. It is great to see people usuing hairy stick for models. And great build of ugly plane ;) For the Tamiya paints, you need to experiment with thinning if you want to use them for brush painting. And treat them not as acrylics, but lacquers. They are solvent based, solvent is solvable with water, but that does not change fact that Tamiya is solvent paint. I do mostly Gundams and for this I thin them very sparsely, so that one layer is enough and it covers plastic. It means not lot of thinner (best to use dedicated Tamiya thinner - with a solvent) and you need to use a LOT of paint. Normal rule of thin layers does not work with Tamiya. It cures and levels brilliantly, just the approach is totally different. You can apply multiple covers if you use Tamiya solvent, but you need to let it dry. 24 hours minimum. They are great paints for brush painting when it comes to end result, just need different approach then typical acrylics or enamels. I am now testing them on airplane models and they do work, but I need yet to find perfect way to apply them. And one thing is sure - masking tape + Tamiya = great mess.
Es buena tu técnica de pincel y los efectos de detalles en el fuselaje es excelente. Gracias por tu publicación felicidades. Digno de un buen modelista
Great work. What I particularly like about it is that you have demonstrated that primer can also be applied by brush as well which is really helpful. Have you tried applying matt varnish with a brush as well? As this is the one technique I find the hardest of all when relying on paint brushes.
