I used this method to put the transfers on my Caladius and although there was some trial and error (emphasis on the latter) I'm very happy with the results.

Most aircraft modellers will gloss coat their models prior to applying decals. It ensures a nice smooth surface for the decal to sit on then use m-sol and set or other such product. After dry and cleaned up a bit they spray an over coat of matte or semigloss depending on the effect they desire.
@BrushstrokePaintingGuides

Complerely agree, if you feel your surface isn’t smooth enough then a gloss varnish would certainly help fill in any imperfections. It’s not something I’ve done myself, but I can see the logic 👍

Should you also use a gloss varnish before you apply it or is that not necessary with Microset? What about sealing the transfers in with a varnish after application?
@BrushstrokePaintingGuides
@BrushstrokePaintingGuides Ай бұрын
Great question. So, I have seen some people recommend applying gloss varnish first. This is in an attempt to smooth the surface before applying. It’s not something I’ve ever done but if you’re finding your paint isnt the smoothest before applying the decals, then it’s certainly something to give a try. You will then need to apply a matte varnish afterwards to kill the shine from the gloss you added at the start. And then, in terms of sealing them, I don’t do anything more than just applying my usual matte varnish to all the mini at the end of painting. Which I do whether it has decals or not. Applying Microsol actually softens and melts the plastic backing of the decal a little bit. So the repeated applications eventually results in the backing melting away and only the ink of the decal is left. It’s this which gives the painted on result. Because that’s essentially just what it is, just the ink on the paint surface. Hope that helps Thanks for watching 👍

I’ve never really been too concerned about it and it’s not seemed to dull the metallics too badly. If you feel it’s an issue you can always mask the metallics off or reapply some gold back after the matte varnish to re-establish the shine for them. Actually, thinking about it, I apply my decals BEFORE my final highlighting so that gives me opportunity to re shine any metallics anyway

If it’s unrealistic to go to the edge of the panel as it’s so big, the best thing to do is just do enough to cover the edges of the decal. If you keep it a neat mm or so all round you won’t really get any watermarks. Especially if you apply a matte varnish over the whole model at the end anyway

One question - what's the rough drying time on these solutuons? And what's the kind of working time we have with micro set once applied?
@BrushstrokePaintingGuides
@BrushstrokePaintingGuides Жыл бұрын
Bit of a tricky one, as I guess it mainly depends on the environment you’re working in. In a rainy cold UK I’d say it takes around 30-40 mins to dry. If you’re based somewhere hotter and more exotic then I presume that would be much shorter. In terms of working time, you can continue to move and position the decal as long as the surface is wet. I’ve never found that it has dried before I had the decal where I wanted it. If you did find it was starting to dry though, you can simply add a touch more and continue to work the decal into position. Hope that helps 👍🏻

Hm so is that drying time between set and sol? Trying it now on some pads and the set seems to dry really quickly - I have to be quick getting the transfer on and positioned.. but not sure if I can apply sol yet as it's only been a few minutes.. it LOOKS dry and the transfer is nowhere near conformed to the rounded surface, but not sure if I can use the sol yet..

Good question, so the answer is you apply it from top down and in logical sections. For example, if it has body panels with clear edges, then apply the wash a panel at a time. You don’t have to wait for each panel to dry before you start the next but just make sure you don’t apply so much wash that it starts to run out of control. By working top to bottom you’ll be working with gravity which should help you control the amount on the model too.

Good tutorial, but how would you adapt this to large transfers like the Forge World custodes sheet? The microset dries too fast to get them in position and i actually just ruined a nacelle on my Caladius and have to redo it because I tried to remove the transfer
@BrushstrokePaintingGuides
@BrushstrokePaintingGuides Жыл бұрын
Thanks man So, I guess my advice is keep it wet. Which I know sounds a bit flippant but it’s really not meant to be. While you’re working with the transfer and getting it into position you need to be aware that the microset is always trying to dry out. For big decals especially, I’ll use a big brush and make sure it is always wet with microset. That way, if the decal starts to stick you can give the brush a little squeeze and it’ll release some more fluid and release the decal again. There is always a bit of a race against time with these things though, so planning the position first is key. Have a plan where you want it. Set the model so it’s at the best position to let you get to the area as easily as possible. Finally, if you do find the decals has stuck in the wrong position. Don’t jab at it hoping to free it up again, as that will likely tear or damage it. Your best bet is to flood the decal with microset and you should find it will release and float on the surface again. Sorry to hear you ruined one on your Caladius. We’ve all been there and it’s so annoying. Sometimes you do just get difficult model and stuff doesn’t go right. Try and see it as a positive and a learning experience and just try again. Hope that helps a bit.

@BrushstrokePaintingGuides
@BrushstrokePaintingGuides Жыл бұрын
@@benrichardson5662 yes it is, to a certain degree. It will only remove a decal if there’s still some of the plastic backing remaining. Even then, it will only really soften it again, so you may need to do some scraping. I certainly wouldn’t recommend using a knife. My suggestion would be to use a wet cocktail stick / toothpick. That will give you some abrasion whilst limiting the damage to the paint underneath. It won’t be perfect though. Lastly, if you’ve applied the transfer using microsol (as directed in this video) you won’t be able to remove them using microset. You see, microsol basically dissolves the plastic backing and just leaves the link of the transfer on the surface. That’s what gives the brilliant “painted on” look. To remove them, you’d be better off painting over them

I wish I had viewed your video before wrecking 25% of the decals I applied. I put the Sol on first because I thought Set was to set the decal down 😕

I know, right? Why can’t they make the numbers on the bottles bigger? I’ve had so many people msg me saying they never even knew the numbers were there and they’ve used the stuff for years

My Microsol reactivated my paint - any ideas?

That’s unusual. What paints are you using and how long did you leave between painting your paint and applying the microsol? You could remove all doubt and apply a thin layer of varnish to seal the paint first before using the microsol and microset.

I've always believed that decals should be applied to a gloss surface to minimise the risk of silvering . There is a school of thought that the Micro Sol is just diluted vinegar

If you feel the surface isn’t smooth beforehand, it certainly wouldn’t hurt to apply a gloss varnish to make it smoother. I wouldn’t say it’s necessary though, as you can see from the result here. In terms of Micro Sol being dilute vinegar, I’m couldn’t really say. It’s clearly an acid of some degree, so it could be vinegar based I guess. Whatever it is, it works a treat 👍

@@BrushstrokePaintingGuides Adventure? I thought this is a hobby to relax and not get heart attacks from! ;) But seriously: currently I'm to burned out to even pick up a brush. Or fire up the airbrush. Or even get anything done. (besides the uHH). But you did a good video and I'm just a grumpy old grognard ;)
