Great continuation on the tutorial! I agree 100 percent as I have found out on my adventures in this hobby as well... weathering is all about the build up of various layers. Camera is crystal clear leaving no guess work with these tutorials. Cheers!
This is great mate I've got some idea how to tackle my chally 2 that's been on hold for a couple of months not knowing how to tackle the weathering so thanks mate.
Great tutorial! The lighting and stuff was really good man :) I did a similar method where I put on MiG pigments and then I put a mig wash over it which darkened and fixed it on. Different washes in different parts of a wheel gave me mud, dirt and dust when I only used 1 pigment :D Anyways great vid, the dust accumulation and streaks and really cool I'm gonna try that!
i wish i could do this you make it look easy. i have just brought every weathering product mig sell including muds and pigments. i need to learn how to do this
Nice video! Thanks for taking the time. How do you bind your pigment on once you're content with the appearance? If I try to spray binder on I end up blowing off most of the pigment even with very little pressure on the regulator. I am apprehensive about trying to brush on a binding agent thinking it would smear and run my pigments.
Loving the tutorials and could not agree more the OD green needs something I will be trying this with my cheapo pastels, I might have to buy the good stuff so I can duplicate something I like. Ha micheals in my area they wear masks like robbers do, he'll I only go there with a fifty percent off coupon.
Superb video, brother, not only the actual process but the commentary as well...Perhaps the two best words of wisdom were saved for the end: weathering is a layering process, not something you do in one sitting; make sure the weathering matches the environment your subject was in...great great stuff...I think you can attribute your skills and success to the longevity of your marriage, right? That was very funny, and the story about Michael's was spot on!!! Have a great weekend coming up...
Nice video, pretty new to the hobby myself (after 15 year break) How do you seal it all in when you're done, especially the dusting effects? Do you use a dull coat to lock it in? And for acrylics after applying a dull coat can you use rubbing alcohol as a thinner?
If you want a very fine mist of enamel thinnef from an airbrush can be used to set the pigments, but youve got a 50/50 shot of wrecking the effect. Use the thinner specific to the brand to thin fof best results.
Can you please tell me what you coated your model with before you started using odourless thinners? I have painted my vehicle with Tamiya and Gunze-Sangyo and I need a tough coat to withstand the onslaught of turpentine. I also want it to go through my airbrush because I don't like rattle cans. Last time I tried using artist's oils or thinners was an epic fail. Yeah, I should have tested more before I tried it for real.
TheThirdMan Tamiya paint ia really tough if thinned with Tamiya X20A thinner. Clear coat is Tamiya X22 well thinned with X20A. Pigments will not adhere well to gloss so I use Vallejo flat or satin over the Tamiya. When fixing the pigments use a low pressure from a distance and lightly mist the thinner over the pigments to set them.
Thanks so much for your reply but I'm a bit confused. Why would acrylic be tougher than enamel? Wouldn't it be better to use X-22 thinned with Tamiya enamel thinner? I mean, I'm happy to try your method so how long do you leave the washes on before you clean them off?
The acrylic top coat will not be affected by an enamel thinner at all. Thats why you can use enamel wash/filters over enamel color coats when you use and acrylic clear coat. X-20A Tamiya thinner is has been the best for me to thin Tamiya paints. Pin Washes are virtually dry when I clean then up. I have a video on pin washes too.
Okay. I have now seen your video about pin washes and believe it or not, I was actually headed in _exactly_ that direction. I even have the Tamiya panel line accent stuff and some X-22 and X-20A thinner. So I'm good to go. Cheers!
@@ScaleModelAlberta if I do this effect before theatt finish and then apply a layer of Matt varnish after the effect is done , is the varnish gonna change the color of the pigments dry brushed on tank ?
