Ak Weathering Pencils Review 

Thanks Clive ! Much appreciated 🤟

Thanks Steven , I'm like AK as a company and they push the boundaries a bit with modelling which is awesome, but I own very few of their products 😃 glad you found this helpful !

Oils are my fave ! I havent really used these since this review. 😔

Thanks a lot ! The only way I find they beat the derwent artists was on price, otherwise fairly neck and neck in terms of usability e.t.c

If I remember correctly I didn't pay a lot for a whole tin of the Derwent pencils, and there are a lot of colours in it. Price per pencil was therefore very cheap!

Many thanks mate !

That's the main benefit of these sets, useful shades. Otherwise it's all personal preference.

Thanks Thanaphol hope it helps !

Thanks Tim ! Yeah it was good fun ( just messing about with a mate really ) but I had to drop it in the end for a more professional result. I use a PRS Se with bare knuckle pups and an orange rocker 50 head and cab with gt75s, this was hover recorded straight into a laptop with free vsts

@@lpjmodels oh Oranges are sweet! I had an AD30 and really enjoyed it but have since went digital via a Line 6 Helix rack with a Friedman FRFR setup. What BKP do you have in the PRS? I have Aftermaths in my Kiesel and they're great for shreddy stuff.

Yeah I'm a big fan of orange, they have that mid presence that you just need for cutting through the mix when playing metal without the harsher Marshall cut. Jim root had such a great sound with some of the later slipknot stuff, so that was the reason I went for the rocker. I'm using a pair of miracle mans (men?) I'd get an American prs but the SE is such a solid guitar for the pricepoint, despite being Korean it's made very well. I had my eyes on a baked maple neck SE with a floyd for a bit more fun. Digital these days is getting crazy good, I dont blame people for switching over, I wouldn't use enough of the features though ! I need a more dedicated metal guitar but the action and speed of my prs neck is bonkers anyway.

Haha yes ! It helps when you have someone with art supplies ready to go . I work in an art shop which is awesome for supplies bad for the wallet

Which darwent? The Artist series says it’s wax based.

You're very welcome !

😂😂 too true !

удачи !

ну и как? на вид карандаши полная херня)))

У меня эта аватарка на фейсбуке годами была

If you use oils I'd stick with them ;) thanks for the feedback Mark !

Thanks ! Glad you found it useful !, the music is my own and a way of combining my hobbies, I'm sorry that you dont like it. thanks for watching !

My pleasure!

And ruin the wood housing whilst your at it

@@lpjmodels No, just enough to soak the tip. I normally use an airbrush jar with a little window cleaner. soak the tip for 30 seconds. Window cleaner will not attack the wood, but will make it nice and shinny.

@@rgs455atw I'll have to give it a go thanks !

@Dicus D the result is slightly complicated. Whilst the ak pencils are very good and a good price the lighter colours didn't cover as well as I would have hoped. They all works quite well as well, the ak are slightly better because the price is good for good quality and the sets are useful, but the coverage of the derwent and Faber castel pencils were better

@@lpjmodels ok thanks for the précisions, faber castel or derwent got similar colors or ak is specific colors ?

Nah these are more oily, inktense still have the watercolor pencil feel.

I will try thank you for the comment. It's quite tricky using a phone , if it's too close I knock it making it wobble and the digital zoom isn't very good.

models AAA ok than.....hahaha, video is so good I didn't realise was made by phone.

Like you said personal preferences, my later videos have paid stock music and I stopped putting forward my own music for this reason.

Спасибо Александр!

A lot of people have good results with them. I'm a bit indifferent to be honest, I havent used them a lot since this video.

@@lpjmodels Yeh you didnt sound too convinced to be honest 😆😆

@@multipl3 for the price they are great they work better than cheap "artists' watercolour pencils, I like my oils too much I think.

Thanks for watching Rick !

Да ! You can use any brand but the artists or AK modelling ones give you an advantage over student quality pencils.

The trouble with wetting the pencil is the wood eventually saturates and falls to bits . They aren't bad though

@@lpjmodels not a problem they are made for that

I have 2 Deluxe edition set and I been using prisma color set for many years iam a full time model builder I work 12hrs a day building models for Museums and other people I Started experimentin with the watercolor pencils years ago.i look for anything that can save me time and also have a incredible Result. Model builders have been using watercolor pencils for years .but I have never Ever had a problem With the material falling apart at all. I use them every single day and love them try it out .but wet it first and then Apply it the only time that I draw on a vehicle is when I want light effects.

That doesnt wash, I work in the art industry alongside manufactures like Derwent and Faber castell, they dont advise dipping them. If it works for you fair play, but I wouldn't want to rot them before using them.

@@lpjmodels I been doing it for many years and when I was in Telford this year at the Ak booth that is even how they were doing it. I don't care how you do it but if you want better effects try it out I can tell you again again they don't fall apart I use them everyday iam fulltime model builder it's my job I use the hell out of them and never ever had any problems with them most of the people I know who use them do the same as I am telling you. I just trying to help out.

I love them they are amazing he not using them Correctly its better to wet the end of the pencil you can do it his way but it for light effects. Get one and try it you will love them

check out the videos AK put out...they're actually very cool/useful....wetting them is definitely the way to go, though.

Lol to you sir !

@@lpjmodels lots of love =lol keep them coming

LOL in caps is laugh out load sorry for any mix up

This is something you'll find with pigments but not with anything that's actually a paint.

The outragous shipping price got me

Me LGS carries the line and sell the individual pencils for 1.50 🤷🏼‍♂️

Aren't most modelling products?

This is incorrect. Dipping the pencil will compromise the wood and render them eventually useless..

@@lpjmodels No, it is correct. If you look at AK-Interactive's official RU-vid account for tutorials, they'll specifically state you need to wet them before making streaks. Here's a tutorial ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-TJni95dRs24.html Here's another where they state when to use them dry and when to use them wet. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-5I3S4-aQPkY.html

The pencils or the video.

Thanks for the support Ian !!🤟
