Tamiya Weathering Master Review Star Wars Model Custom 

the brush is for dry brushing type application, the sponge head one is for dabbing and spotting, and you are meant to do it on a matt finish as it doesnt adhere well to gloss. You also need to matt coat it once you are done.

When using the flat brush from these Master kits, use a X-Acto knife and with the pointed side of the blade scratch a small amount on the surface of the pastel until debris or powder show and it will be easier to capture these debris with a flat brush instead of rubbing it on a flat surface oily pastels. The flat brush works well on flat or round surface for dusty effects while the spongy brush works well for chipping and stain effects.

Watching this in 2021, it's almost like you were preparing figures for Mando seasons 1 and 2.

I purchased some of the Tamiya weathering after seeing your video. There are seriously some great uses for this stuff! Especially getting metal to show thru paint rather than dry-brushing silver (which I know is basically what you're doing here, but the application and medium is different. Now, if you ever get a chance to try MIG productions (if you haven't already) the world is endless as far as weathering. I paint 54mm to 72mm military figures and small war dioramas. I've just recently stocked up on some Star Wars models to start doing them together with my son. I love painting (brush & airbrush)! We're getting ready to start painting Bandai's R2-D2 & R5-D4.... I'm going to try and get away w/ doing paint and no decals, so we'll see. I already have most everything sanded, flash removed and primed. Fun!

I've been wanting to get these weathering kits for a long time now. they are good stuff.

needs to put a top coat paint over the weathering job to protect it? great tutorial. sorry if my english level is bad...

Yes you can pour a gloss coat on to protect and it looks great it doesn't change the look at all also the twerp hobby lobby stores I have near me in Wa state had sets A B and C I want set D for exhaust staining and one more thing the brush what I can tell us to blend our feather in the edges after you have applied with the sponge tip

Very cool, I've never seen these.... Of course I never have time to paint but I might get some of these. That sand trooper looked pretty cool

I am pretty sure you need a bit of top coat. And I think the brush is intended for more blending and removing excess. But was cool to see some other kits effects

You need to put a top coat first, I recommend a matte top coat, then start the weathering, then coat it again

the brush is for blending/dry brushing

Wish I knew about these before weathering my Bandai R2 and R5-D4! Oh well, I plan on making more astromechs out of the Bandai model kit design like R3-S6, R4-P17, R2-KT, etc, etc, so I may have to get these sets for them!

Green Screen Robo. Does the trick every time!

I love these pastels. Great review. Now where were we..... ... WATER SLIDE DECALS! You know where this is going. Have fun mate.

Eyeshadow. Plain and simple woman have been working on different textures and layers for years. There are a million different shades and colors, metallic finishes to nude and natural pigments. You can buy 50 different colors for like $10. For the price of this kit you can find hundreds of different textures and shades. It’s all about contrast and you can tailor your models specific color and terrain across a large spectrum for less money

the brush is for cleaning of softening on the surface where the pastel was applied..

What kind of top coat do you put on to seal it ? Would Tamiya clear coat spray work ?

Nice! Thank you. I will be picking these kits up!

Great work. Also great that there were no Disney Star Wars figures in there.

Would a gloss coat be used to protect the paint and decals

If you use a flat clear coat to seal it all in do you know if it will be waterproof as well?

great video! I only have the F set and I really want to buy another, especially the mud and soot one. Will you post the weathered video of bobba fett kit?

This playlist needs that c3po video

Where did u buy the extra applicator?

thanks that looks great...

Yes spray dull coat...before applying

I'm waiting on your Bandai Bob's fret custom video I just got into pastels Today and I used mod podge as a sealer bit it gets the color all over the face idk what to do there.

Compared to pastel chalk do these Tamiya Powders hold up better? I've used pastels many times over the years but pastels seem to have a tendency to either fade away or (in a few cases) go completely transparent, even when sprayed over with a clear sealer.

Hey what section in walmart did you find those extra applicators I couldn't locate them

Which Set did you use on the stormtrooper ? Which letter please :) like your work

hi, im newbie in weathering, when it's already applied... can i remove it? if i can, what should i use for it to be removed? THANKS!

So I did this for a motorcycle exhaust...but it rubs off! How do you make sure it stays on after applying it? It currently is easily rubbed off. Thanks!

Does it need top coat after apply it and do the powder stuff didn't disappear when you touch it

Which set did you use for the boba fett?

should i spray with transparent my stormtrooper after this weathering?

that's tamiya for ya

can q-tips be also used as an applicator?

brush is not for application

Since nobody here has apparently watched a woman do her make up before...the spongy side is for application, the brush side is for blending. Also, don't waste money on these weathering sets. You can get the same thing from the Dollar Store (or whatever is in your area) for waaay cheaper. Plus the range of colors is far better. Take your wife with ya though. So you don't look like a dumb ass. If you don't have a wife or girlfriend, guess you'll just have to suck it up.
