Hi David, I think that we can all now see that the park was exactly the right call for the front of the town scene. The formal flower beds are a very clever idea. The road surface is also very effective with the yellow lines and drain covers along the edges. I look forward to seeing it all for real once the lockdown is finally over. Take care and keep safe. .................John

Excellent stuff David. Card, covered in brick paper is probably one of the oldest techniques known to modellers but, in this case, it looks fantastic. Mixing your materials by adding plastic bits has really worked to great effect. When you were painting the red "roses", I was thinking it looked a bit like a poppy field. Funny then to see it used as poppies for the wreath. A lot of modellers seem to be a bit wary of oil paints but, if you're patient, they can give some superb results - well worth waiting for it to dry. Are any of us in *that* much of a hurry? Looking forward to seeing the war memorial "in situ" next time; the transfers look perfect, clever idea.👍 The bus in the final shot looks like a fine model in it's own right but, in that setting, it looks brilliant. Deresley is turning into a bit of a masterpiece, with *so many* different skills and techniques on view.👌🏆 Cheers for now, Dougie.

Hi Dougie, forgive me but I thought I answered this comment. It has come on on my 'unanswered list' - my apologies. Thanks for your comments, much appreciated. I do like card modelling, especially for buildings in this scale and I have done plenty of scratch-building with plasticard - so modelling with card and plastic combined seemed an obvious step to take (best of both worlds). I get great enjoyment from arranging my work for photography - it is worth the effort I think, for me, and viewers to my channel. 👍👍👍 ... David

@davidhyde43294 жыл бұрын
Hi Martin, glad you liked the weathering. No, sorry if I confused you, you don,t want the oil paint to dry at this stage - paint it on then rub it back - just as I did in the video. The act of rubbing off the paint produces the weathered look. It is however still glossy, thanks to the gloss varnish. It needs a coat of matt varnish to finish. This is when you want it to dry - I will then spray on a matt acrylic coat normal oils take a longer time to dry than the alkyds. I will make this clear when I finish the memorial in the next video. Shame about your grey card supply. Its hard to suggest an alternative - unless you can re-use boxes??? Stay safe ... David

@davidhyde43294 жыл бұрын
Hi Micheal , many thanks for your kind comments. There are plenty of YT videos on the subject - this is how I made mine. First you will need a 'special' decal paper for printing - choose to match your printer (Lazer or inkjet). There are two types - a clear backing (I used for the War Memorial) or a white backing - if you need any white or light colours in the design. You will also need some software to produce the text and be able to reduce it to scale. I use Photoshop, but there are plenty of others (including 'Paint' - free with microsoft). Create your list of names - I used real names - made the list look more convincing. Measure your plaque and reduce the design to fit. Do a quick test print on ordinary paper. When you are happy make a small group of each decal (it pays to have spares). Print your design onto the decal paper. LET IT DRY - don't be in a hurry, make sure its dry - I leave it overnight. NEXT day you need to seal the printing by spraying 2 or 3 coats of Acrylic gloss lacquer, Again allow 2 or 3 hours between coats TO LET IT DRY. Again I leave everything until the next day. Then trim you decals to size and apply them, to a gloss surface, in the normal way. I would then, after they have dried, seal them onto the surface with a brushed coat of gloss acrylic varnish. After this they are safe enough to apply any weathering you wish to do. Then finish the whole model in a matt varnish. Sounds simple but a bit long-winded. I have learn't, by bitter experience, not to hurry this process. Hope this helps - good luck👍👍👍 ... David

Thank you David, not just a tutorial - a masterclass! I was particularly interested in the decals you produced for the memorial. I am not highly computer-savvy but I wonder if you could describe the program and the process which resulted in such fine transfers? Looking forward to your next episode. Cheers.
@davidhyde43294 жыл бұрын
Thanks Roy - sure STEP 1. You will need some A4 Decal/Transfer paper (inkjet or laser depending on your printer). Satin or gloss will give the best definition (marginal though) and some imaging software that handles text (I use Photoshop but you can use Paint (comes free with Microsoft Windows). STEP 2. Produce your decal - In this instance I just typed in the Memorial list (yes they are actual names - you can't read them with the naked eye buy it makes a list of names look more authentic). Then you need to measure/size the area needed and then re-size your decal to fit. (I do a test print on plain paper and measure to check - adjust size if necessary). When you are happy make up several copies to print (you have spares then if things go wrong). Set your printer to photo satin or photo glossy paper and make sure its on 'high quality' - then print onto your decal paper. Now leave to dry - don't be in a hurry - I leave mine for 24 hours. STEP 3. Seal the Decals. Cut out the block of decals (saves paper) and spray with gloss Auto Lacquer (Halfords). If the printing is not fully dry it can 'run at this stage' (believe me!!). It is quick drying but I leave a couple of hours after each coat, and apply 3 coats. If the ink is dry there should be no problem - the result is a clear, dry, glossy finish. Leave a couple of hours before use - I prefer to leave over-night. When everything is fully dry I finish with a coat of matt varnish. STEP 4. The surface of your model should be dry and glossy. (as in the video). Apply your decal(s) - leave to dry. Once fully dry apply a final coat of gloss varnish - this will seal the decal and protect if for the weathering stage. If you are not going to 'weather' give the model a coat of matt, semi-gloss or gloss vanish. STEP 5 - pour yourself a beer ... Cheers! ... David

I have some experience with wooden hulled boats, but that was many years ago. I cant remember how painted the hull. If I were doing it now I would find out what is 'common practice' and follow this.

What is the advantage of using oil paint rather than acrylic for the weathering?
@davidhyde43293 жыл бұрын
The advantage of adding weathering with oil paint is (1) it takes longer to dry so you can work on bigger areas in one go and (2) when painted over acrylic - when the acrylic is dry - you can paint on the weathering with oils and you can wipe it and reduce it, or completely remove it with white spirit without affecting the acrylic colours in any way. You can't paint acrylic over oil by the way. 😊👍👍
@beachdancer3 жыл бұрын
@@davidhyde4329 Does that mean that trying to wipe freshly applied acrylic off older dry acrylic would tend to pull off some of the older dry paint? Is this a substantial problem or just not as good as using oils?
@davidhyde43293 жыл бұрын
@@beachdancer Hi. yes - you can apply acrylic and wipe off in the same way before it dries, but it dries massively faster than oils. Therefore you often don't get the time needed to work in subtlety before it dries. So you either have to work very quickly, or just work on q small area at a time. There is always a tendency for earlier layers to be pulled off (see below). But here acrylics have the advantage. Layers will stick to each other permanently - no problem (unless you use too much water in thinning the paint). Acrylics (properly thinned). Oils are not permanent - the earlier coats can be softened and effected by overpainting oils with oils. There is a saying 'oil and water don't mix' which is correct. BUT you Can paint oils onto dried acrylic paint. You Can paint acrylic onto dried oil (art restorers do this). BUT oils can take up to 2 years to fully dry - so this way round is impracticable. For us modellers there is a problem with the slow drying of oil paint because most oil paint contains a slow drying medium (Linseed Oil). However there is an oil paint that replaces the Linseed Oil with a man made Alkyd resin. (NOT the same as Acrylic resin so you can't mix them). Alkyd paints are great for weathering because they can be thinned with cheap white spirit. Check out 'Winsor & Newton Griffin' oils (If you are thinking of going this way) They are much cheaper than conventional oils - and you only need a few. The problem with all paints being lifted is more connected to the bond made between the first coat (any paint) and the surface of the object to be painted. I have been looking for a subject for my Christmas video and your question has given me the answer. I will produce a fuller video covering this with my experience as an artist and model maker. Hope this helps 👍👍👍😊
