@kevinnazario1015 6 месяцев назад

For an oil paint wash of filter, is better to apply a gloss acrylic lacquer and let it cure before you do anything else. The oils run down better on a glossy smooth surface. Then you finish with a flat coat.

@gurufoxx 6 месяцев назад

You can do either, it depends on what finish you want. I wanted the surface to have a little more bite so that it would hold on to the paint more, because I needed that dirty look, and a gloss coat would not have created that. A gloss coat is good for pin washes and streaking where you don't want the surface to be quite as heavily tinted and want the paint to be easier to remove or move around.

@Sevarrius 3 года назад

Thats a really nice job you've done on the weathering. I've seen someone use the abteilung oils to paint the Deagostinni falcon before and whilst theirs was a tad dark and heavy for my tastes and certainly much heavier than anything seen on screen I'd say that yours(even though it's personal preference) is what I would call just right, not too much, not too little, great balance. Also what a great quality kit from Bandai. The amount of fine detail they've managed to squeeze into this scale is outstanding, and it's a push fit! Good to see all that money they've pumped into tooling R&D for gunpla over the years hasn't gone to waste. One day I'll be able to afford to slap down the money for this kit and until then I have other peoples videos and build diaries to scratch my itch!

I'm still building mine, but then go to the to smaller fine molds/revell 1/144 falcon, before taking something new on. I would like you to see ya tackle fine molds/revell 1/72 falcon,and then give you overall opinion on them both. Nice build

@gurufoxx 3 года назад

I have built a few of the Fine Molds Falcon in the past - it is a very nice kit. It is based on the 32" ESB Falcon though and not the 5 foot ANH Falcon so the greebles are different, less complex, and it is not quite as detailed (but still a very nice Falcon). However that tooling it is almost 20 years old now and I would now say for the same price the Bandai Falcon is a far superior model when built up, if you can get the waterslides version. I don't plan on making another Falcon in the future though as I have built many over the years and no longer take commissions, so there is no reason for me to do another.

@rastanz 2 года назад

Nice work on the pre-shading and the application of the subtle weathering on the rear deck around the exhaust vents is just perfect, starship filth does wonders. I also love the fact that you used oils to achieve an aged hue on the panels. I must say the thing that makes me cringe when it comes to weathering the Falcon is when people kill it with panel lining, I personally don't favour using a panel wash as it leaves a "connect the dots" puzzle look over the entire model. Great work!

@gurufoxx 2 года назад

Thank you :) Agreed, panel lining works on some things, but not on the Falcon other than the stuff that falls into the gaps when you do all the other weathering :)

I just recently started watching and have subscribed to your channel. I was very impressed with your skills and weathering on the Millennium Falcon. I’m in the process building the DeAgostini Millennium Falcon and looking to do the weathering on it as well, the colors of paints you used to get the effect are really nice. Could you be so kind to share those colors you used on your Bandai 1:72 Perfect Grade, this would be very helpful and greatly appreciate 🙏🏽

@pherja Год назад

Wonderful video. It’s great to see these more advanced theories put into practice. What a difference the color dots made to the overall look and feeling. My biggest frustration though in all these MF videos (Millennium Falcon… not the the other MF) is why nothing is ever done to the “rust” panel decals. To me they stick out like a sore thumb. They’re stark red, have little blob shapes on them, and just look like cheap toy stickers. At the very least I’d paint over the blobs to make it look more natural, and also probably tone down the overall color. Honestly, I’d probably just go ahead and mask those areas and paint the color rather than use the decals.

@gurufoxx Год назад

If you mean the red panels on the hull, then yes, the decals are very basic. And the problem usually is that folks will pre-shade the hull but this pre-shading will be absent on the coloured panel decals - that's why they stand out. On the real filming models they are of course airbrushed on as hull red colourred shapes over the base hull colour and the chipping damage on them is actual physical damage dremelled into them - you can see little chips and divots carved into the surface that expose both the black primer coat and the white styrene colour under the surface. Some decals aim to replicate that (such as Fine Molds decals) with varying degrees of success. However, they can be used to great effect it weathered carefully. I knew they would not have the same pre-shading on them as the base hull colour, so used other methods to break them down and give them that word look. I don't recall if I showed it but once the decals were on, and made to look less decal-like with decal setting solutions, I did two things to make them look more painted and faded, One was to lightly sand all the colour panel decals, very gently, to fade them unevenly so they were not just a solid colour. Then I VERY FAINTLY airbrushed the main hull colour over the whole hull and the decals to tone them down even more. It was almost an invisible coat ands it is an old movie model trick to make coloured markings on a model less standy-outy and give the whole model that used, slighty faded paint look. Of course, all the weathering that then came after helped the blend in more as they came out looking patchy shaded and varied as much as the rest of the hull, and in most cases I tried to replicate the physical chipping on the studio model as closely as I could, but with paint rather than a dremel. And once the model was finished the final step was to give her another almost imperceptible airbrush dusting, this time of Tamiya Buff, which again is a really old trick to make all the colours on a model blend cohesively into a unified whole. It's basically adding a final layer of tan dust to a model, like the dusty coating you get on your car, but again so fine that you only really notice it subconsciously as part of the overall aged used feel. I like to think this helped the colour panels look more painted and natural and not just decals plonked on there. I could have painted them instead but as a tutorial I needed to show using the decals as they were specific to the limited edition kit (the base kit has actual stickers, not waterslide decals, EW!) and weirdly many people are terrified of decals lol.

@luisdiazdemera 3 года назад

Great job! just one question, after all decoloration, decals and weathering, did you use any varnish? I saw you varnished after you applyed decals to protect them but, any varnish to end all the job? Thanks for your channel.

@gurufoxx 3 года назад

Actually, this model will only ever be displayed in a sealed cabinet so there was no benefit to applying a varnish at the end - so I did not. Sometimes if you are happy with how a model looks when it is finished and know that it will never be handled, you do not have to apply a protective varnish as there is nothing to protect it from. The varnish is really only meant to protect the paint job from handling and sometimes applying a varnish can change how a model looks in subtle ways - especially if weathering powders or pigments have been used - so it if can be avoided, don't apply it :)

Will it be worth more in years to come ? don't get me wrong the pleasure is in the build and always should be just wondered if you knew... cheers

@gurufoxx 2 года назад

As far as I know, the one I built (with waterslide decals and lighting) was a limited one-off run (the box was marked as limited edition) whereas the "Standard Edition" (with no lights, and only with stickers) is always in print. BUT...having said that, I hear rumblings of reprints every now and then and also rumours that the "Standard Edition" now has waterslides. To be honest, it is impossible to find out any concrete information online and I get completely confused. If you are looking for one, eModels still have the lighting/waterslide kit edition in stock although stock is very limited: www.emodels.co.uk/revell-1-72-millennium-falcon-01206.html

@terroben9430 3 года назад

my kit has been in progress for the last year or so. Do you add another clear coat after the weathering? Trying to figure out how much I need to pick up :)

@gurufoxx 3 года назад

A matt varnish is only needed at the end of a project if you need to protect the paint from constant handling, or if it is a bit to shiny and you need to matte it down uniformly. I did not varnish mine as the weathering made everything nice and matte and it will spend its days in a display cabinet, never being handled :)

@LiamDillon 3 года назад

I've read about Bandai kits not liking oil based paints as the plastic reacts. Were the 502 Abtelung oils OK and non reactive with the varnish and hence there was no issue?

@gurufoxx 3 года назад

*It's not so much the oil paints (or enamel paints) themselves, but the thinners used with them in washes and weathering effects. Basically ANY form of thinners - alcohol, mineral, solvent - can eat away at Bandai's unique polystyrene formulation. You are pretty safe if, like me on this Falcon, you are only working with a damp brush and moistening the surface for filters or streaks. It's proper panel line and pin washes, and any washes where you drench the model in thinners or thinned paint that are dangerous. Although, to be fair, pin washes can be okay, as long as you control where the wash goes and are careful to keep it from pooling up near joints or gaps and cracks. Although not strictly necessary, varnishing the model before weathering can help reduce the risks (oils and enamels will not affect acrylic paints or varnishes) as it can help cover up some exposed areas. But it should not be assumed.

@varulvsmamma Год назад

Ive heard this as well. But i have built a lot of gunpla kits and used all kind of enamels/thinners and oil paints and never had a problem, but it is a problem with older Bandai kits. At least with the gunplas.
