heya @KTenmo! Thanks for sharing your experience, I'll have to check those out!

Thanks! I tried to break it down as clearly as possible so everyone can find what works for them.

Normal paint is fine for then.... Just make sure they are washed and if you do have issues with the paint try Tamiya polycarbonate paints

@@nigelsmith7366 paint can’t stick to those flexible hoses , not sure how Lincoln overcomes it with these models

Both lacquers and the weathering paints, depending on which version I did. This would be a perfect question for the LIVE AMA I am going to start in 20 mins on our Discord!

​@@PK91108both Tamiya and Gunze paints stick to them just fine.... I have painted many of them

I appreciate that - it's all about the little details!

Yes you'll see some effect like this on my SCHWARZERHUND and LUNA HUND where I used airbrush weathering techniques. More on that in an upcoming video!

@Jason Appreciate your perspective! While it may be a common technique, I aim to show how subtle variations and specific applications can really make it shine in different contexts. Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts!

2/3 do the exact same. With all due respect, you're not doing anything special. People have been using this exact technique for decades. The way you approach this is a bit disingenuous.

@jasongotshadowbanned Thanks for sharing your thoughts again. I agree this technique has been around for decades and is widely used-because it works so well! My goal is to present it in a way that resonates with my audience, combining proven methods with personal touches and explanations. I value honest feedback, but I’d also encourage you to look at the broader context of how I integrate this into the overall workflow.

Bro.... Chill out.... Was the video made just for you..... No.... So there may be other people who are interested in the technic.... Just because you are having a bad day don't mean you have to take it out on other people....

Who's having a bad day? I'm pointing out that this technique is used all over the world, for years and years. There's nothing niche about it.

@ilPeach Welcome aboard, and thank you so much! I’m thrilled you found the channel and enjoyed the tutorial-plenty more like this coming your way. Don’t hesitate to let me know what you’d like to see next!

Great meeting you too, Chippie-O! Can't wait to see how your builds turn out-feel free to share pics if you give the technique a go!

Oh for sure mate, that and the weathering fluid tip you mentioned. Have trialled it with white spirits, but not zippo fluid yet.

That’s an interesting thought! While oils have some similarities, the way Tamiya Enamels dry to a powdery finish and can be re-wet even days later is pretty unique. Let me know if you experiment with oils-would love to hear how it compares!

Thanks for sticking with me, Chris! Glad you remembered that clip-it’s been great to finally give this technique the spotlight it deserves!

Haha, noted! Maybe I should add a satisfying swoosh or clink next time. Appreciate the input!

Thanks, Jun! Feels good to be back at it. Hope you’re enjoying the new video!

Sure you can, I sell it from my store! www.paintonplastic.com/books

Nice, yes easy listening jazz is a great choice!

Thank you so much, @mouca8548! I’m thrilled to hear you’re back at it and making great progress. The Vega and Altair are such cool projects, and going for contrast between them with a clean look on the Altair sounds like an awesome idea. It means a lot to hear that the content and the Discord community have helped you grow as a modeler-huge credit to you for putting in the effort and pushing yourself forward. Keep up the amazing work, and I can’t wait to see how both kits turn out! Cheers, Linc

Hey @Coastal_Indominus58, no worries, that’s a great question! Acrylic paint will definitely change the feel of your mini to some degree, especially if you’re applying multiple layers or using matte, satin, or glossy finishes. The surface might feel smoother, or even a bit textured depending on the paint and techniques you use. If the tactile feel is important, try thin, even coats and consider a light satin or matte clear coat at the end to lock in your work without making it overly thick or sticky. Good luck with your repaint-sounds like a fun project! Cheers, Linc

@ Thanks!

haha, it feels like it doesn't it? I'd suggest just a couple of colors to test out if you like working with this type, thanks always Spud!!

@@diyfireking Thank you very much! 🤩👍

Hi @tokoloshgolem , Thanks so much for the kind words-glad you enjoyed the video! 😊 I’ve noticed some availability challenges with Gaianotes too, likely due to the ripple effects of the pandemic. The paints I used in this video were purchased before Covid, but I’ve since switched to using GSI Creos Mr. Color range more often. They’re easier to source, and I recommend giving them a try as a great alternative. Just swap in Mr. Color for the colors I used, and you’ll be good to go! Hope that helps-happy painting! Cheers, Linc

Leopard Mottle!
