Arma Hobby Ki 84 Part 4 painting and weathering ver 2 0

[@mmlips]

I think I just learned more in the 30min than in hours of other videos. Thanks

[@thescalemodellingcafe]

I'm glad you found it useful mate, this is exactly why I do this!

[@davidguy6823]

Another building and weathering masterclass. Thanks Jamie.

[@thescalemodellingcafe]

Thanks David, glad you liked it. Don't forget to check out the other videos on the channel, I hope you'll like those too.

Absolutely stunning build Jamie! 👌👏 All the attention to detail has definitely been worth it and wow does it look incredible! You make it look and sound so easy! Having said that, your commentary and explanations are straightforward and easy to follow. Fantastic series of vids, really enjoyed them. Cheers mate Bobby

[@thescalemodellingcafe]

Thanks Bobby, much appreciated

[@tompotter9064]

Jamie, I learn something new every time, thanks.

[@thescalemodellingcafe]

Thanks Tom

[@kenhanson1819]

I thoroughly enjoyed your video build of this kit, Jamie! Really appreciate the time you took to explain your painting and weathering techniques. A superb looking Ki-84! I'm looking forward to building mine now.

[@thescalemodellingcafe]

Thank you very much Ken, I really do very much appreciate it.

[@seanfoster3052]

Sensational stuff. You really pulled off the variance on the metal. Probably the best video I have seen on how to acheive a realistic NMF.

[@thescalemodellingcafe]

Thanks Sean, hopefully there's plenty more on the channel you'll like, plus there's more to come too! Watch out this Sunday!

[@SMAZVidoes]

Beautiful build. Really like the effect of the grey oil sludge wash. Keep the videos coming.

[@thescalemodellingcafe]

Thanks mate

[@liamgray9805]

Wow Jamie what a fantastic video, thank for sharing

[@thescalemodellingcafe]

Thanks Liam

[@davidross1884]

Turned out really well Jamie. Nice...

[@thescalemodellingcafe]

Thanks David

[@Dean-Trower]

Inspirational stuff, so much to take away from this video, thanks Jamie.

[@thescalemodellingcafe]

Thank you very much Dean

[@FinsburyPhil]

Really, really lovely Jamie. I haven't got a NMF build planned right now, but when I do, I'll be coming back to this as my main reference.

[@thescalemodellingcafe]

Thanks Phil

[@laMoort]

enjoyed it very much indeed, looking forward for the next one. cheers.

[@thescalemodellingcafe]

Thanks mate

[@ralphford4302]

You have really raised my appreciation for 1/72nd scale modeling, something I always avoided - but having watched your builds and the quality of the ARMA kits, might just have to give it a go - thanks for sharing

[@thescalemodellingcafe]

Thanks Ralph, go for it, you won't be disappointed!

[@jfm148]

Great video, Jamie 👍👍. Thank you. I see you are stationed far away from home. It would be nice for you to make a video on what tools and materials you carry when you're not home and how you transport them. Sorry if I am just adding more suggestion to your busy schedule. Hope you're getting better. Cheers.

[@thescalemodellingcafe]

Hi Juan. I have all my modelling gear out here so I don't travel with it. What I will do though is bring out paints when I need them, maybe I'll do a quick video on that? I'm pretty much back to normal now thank you.

[@kenhanson1819]

Thanks!

[@thescalemodellingcafe]

Wow, thanks Ken! Very much appreciated.

[@BarbosaUral]

It does look fantastic. I'm so glad you didn't blacken the panel lines. Some modelers take that to an extreme.

[@thescalemodellingcafe]

It's all about getting the correct contrast and choosing a tone which compliments the underlying colour.

[@duncanling2127]

Stunning ❤

[@thescalemodellingcafe]

Thank Duncan

[@JedenSiedemDwa]

Totally awesome! Looks very good, especially as a result of riveting! ;) All the best for You! ;)

[@thescalemodellingcafe]

Thanks mate, so glad you like it

[@janvolek3040]

Looks fantastic! Thanks for another great build, and taking us along the process - especially for the "somewhat worn" metallic finish.

[@thescalemodellingcafe]

Thanks Jan

[@kitbuster]

Masterclass mate, the finish you got on that black base primer coat with the highly thinned X1 was stunning , I always learn something when I see you painting, keep the vids coming, now where’s that Lightning ??

[@thescalemodellingcafe]

Thanks mate, the Lightning is up next!

[@Greg420_scale_models]

Fantastic .

[@thescalemodellingcafe]

Thanks mate

[@robbroy]

Sensational sir 😍

[@thescalemodellingcafe]

Thanks mate

[@bachgynbach3838]

Mr Hobby makes Orange Yellow which is great for yellow on Japanese planes.

[@thescalemodellingcafe]

I don't have any of that so just adding a tiny drop of red to what I have already saves me $$$!

[@adie1401]

Jamie really enjoyed watching this build and have this kit on order. Is your sludge wash neat or thinned at all?

[@thescalemodellingcafe]

Thanks Adie, it's thinned a bit, so it doesn't quite run with capillary action

[@stewart4478]

Very impressive all the weather really made it a stunner, I have two questions, on the post shading you did with the airbrush, I really like the look but my skills with an airbrush are not great and I couldnt do that could i get a similar affect using oils instead like you did under the aircraft? also I know you didned varnish yours before weather but just painted my 109 with life color arcylics would you say a satin varnish or gloss varnish would be best before I start weathering?

[@thescalemodellingcafe]

Post shading as with everything mate, is just down to practice. Experiment with thinner ratios, air pressure, distance from the model and keep going, you'll get there. I didn't varnish, the Alclad dries rock hard so the enamel thinner won't affect it. I've never been able to get Life Color paints to work! But I recommend polishing the surface with some micro mesh or well worn fine sanding sponge and then sealing with a lacquer varnish.

[@Juno58]

Was the actual Hayate natural metal or silver painted?

[@thescalemodellingcafe]

Natural metal

[@Juno58]

Thanks mate

[@gadeeshi]

I'm a big fan of weathering but this time it's a little bit too much in my opinion. Especially on Hinomaru which were renewed barely after each mission by the ground crews.

[@thescalemodellingcafe]

It probably is, but modelling is not all about accuracy, it's not the be all and end all. Artistic license is what we use to get creative, and have fun.

[@jmcc2275]

So…this was an advert for Ammo? Ever thought about saving money by taking the undercarriage outside and dipping it in some muck?

[@thescalemodellingcafe]

I do love Ammo's products and I do do articles for them and have done research for paint colours so we help each other out. But I use lots of other manufacturers' stuff too, sometimes! 😁

[@SMAZVidoes]

Beautiful build. Really like the effect of the grey oil sludge wash. Keep the videos coming.
