@@nottoscale6529 Hi after testing this method on an Entry Grade (Thank god) i have many questions xD Sorry in advanced! The thinner actually destroyed my kit's legs. At the start, your thinner ratio was 1 (thinner): 10 (Paint) right? How did you get it to match the consistency u had? Mine became a blobby mess. Any tips here? Am using the exact same paint and X20 thinner as well Did you apply any top coating before painting? And lastly did you apply any matte coat once u finished? Thank you in advanced!!
@RaidenHides8 күн бұрын
and also when erasing the black wash, mine didnt come off as easy as yours did in the video, which is probably why my plastic melted, prolly due to excessive thinner

Thanks, awesome work!!! Only one question:removing the first wash with the black and brown mix using the Tamiya finner X20 won’t cause any damage to the model clean if you have used Tamiya acrilic paint? Currently working on a Rallye car and in the phase of understanding which is the best way to weaver it in the proper way? Thanks in advance and keep going!!!

Love your work - question: why do you disassemble the whole thing instead of painting it while it’s together
@tomsweeny6837Ай бұрын
You mentioned on 8:48 that tamiya thinner can break plastic. What did you do to prevent this? Are you using a different product or approaching the process in a different way?
@Giddo1111 күн бұрын
For this reason I only use acryllic paints by Tamiya, safe on all the plastics. But if you're going the enamel route you do the following FIRST: - Spray acryllic primer if you plan on painting the whole kit. (e.g. Tamiya Fine Surface Primer) - Spray acryllic clear laquer. It looks like he used a Matte spray. (E.g. Tamiya Flat Matte TS-80) None of the weathering paints would actually stick to a modelkit that hasn't been prepped with one of these sprays. They would just slide off the bare plastic. And enamel will crack and destroy all of it. As seen in the video, the lacquer prevents the enamel paint/thinner from reaching the plastic; but breaking is always a possibility. As recommended by the manufacturer, you can paint with enamels but in the following order: Plastic Model > Acryllic Base (Lacquer/Primer) > Acryllic Paints > Enamel Paints > Metal Paints > Final Lacquer Spray.

Just had my first weathering venture on a MG Hi-V ver ka... what a mess. I don't think oil washes are as effective as enamel, airbrush varnish is not adequate and will rub off, and waterslide decals do NOT like the weathering process.

@0:16 oh god, please don't abuse your God Hands like that. Don't ever use them to cut full fat gates, always cut at the gate 'tips' that are angular, still away from the part enough to not leave stress marks but full fat gate cuts with the SPN-120 God Hands will exacerbate the risk you break these prematurely.

This is amazing work for such little tools. You enhanced the plastic base color with enamel thinned paints, which also bring out the shadows and breaks the monotony. It also save you time because we don't have to paint a base coat. Then you dry brush on top of it to bring out the highlights and weathering. Very resourceful.

Hey there! I don't own this particular gunpla (I'm just strating in the gunpla hobby, and I currently own just 3 gunplas), but, from what I know, every single gunpla kit you buy (or at least, above 90% of them) are already painted, you just hace to assemble them! but, if you love minis painting like me, the real magic happens when you add those "extra colors" by painting your gunpla kit!

For starters, beautiful work. I’m really impressed at the results that you’ve managed to get with this technique. I’ve used the similar technique for finishing off my warhammer models once painted. I’ve recently diverted from warhammer to start collecting Gundam and I wanted to ask you a question. Your using mineral spirits/white spirit to remove the enamel paint from the areas you don’t want… it’s very similar to what I do with my warhammer but I’m curious to whether the enamel paint or white spirit would damage the plastic? The plastic from Bandi products seems to be of a lesser quality and I’m concerned about erosion or a reaction when painting with enamel and use of white spirits… Is there a way that you combat this? I’m assuming you do a clear coat before painting with enamels but is that sufficient prevention of contact between the two compounds?
@sentientmeat89753 ай бұрын
My only piece of advise. After completion do a another coat of Matt varnish. I noticed in your photos there’s a lot of shine to the plastic on the model. If you use Matt varnish after you’ve finished weathering it will get rid of that :)

I'm surprised how many people seem to enjoy this ridiculously heavy-handed approach to weathering. This doesn't make your model look "weathered", it looks like it's been rolled around in the dirt and stepped on. IMO light, subtle weathering looks best and makes your models look the most real. Less is more with this sort of thing. Also, going for this super dirty look and then coating with a semi-gloss instead of matte? Make it make sense.

Some people enjoy the rusty look, man. It looks like it's aged and been through some heavy battles. I see the softer weathering as a nice lighting/texture effect, but I really like the battleworn weathering rusty effect probably more. Plus, painting can be therapeutic. 🙂👍
