Thanks for this video. I used AK RC thinned with Mr Colour LT 400. As you explained I was tapping away all day long with various stiff brushes and was unable to get the chipping effect to start. Same problem on another model when I used Tamiya with Mr C LT. Even with tooth picks not a scratch on the paint surface. My models almost became plastic lawn darts out of frustration. After countless searches online, thinking I had screwed up the method, I stumbled on your video which explained the exact problem I was having. Will try your method and hopefully will have great success.

Very nicely done, Will! I did my first hairspray chipping on the last model I did, a 5 ton truck I gave a paint job in UN White. After using a toothbrush the idea hit me about using a scratch pen. I'm using the same hairspray as you but I'm using strictly Tamiya acrylics. Keep doin' whatcher doin'!

You nailed it right on the head with your chipping variables. Especially, size, and more, or rather most importantly the small - micro chipping and the defusion & dispersion. They really set it off as being believably realistic. And.... those roundels look really good. I've been saying for at least 10 years that it looks so much better painting the ensigns and insignia instead of using the decals as much as possible. Not only does it just look better in general but it's also much easier to weather and chip.

Awesomeness Will...I’ve moved away from the hairspray technique because of inconsistent results....but you’re right, it does look so much more realistic and this has motivated me to give it another go. Great video.

Not tried this yet (achieved something similar by accident but not with hairspray ) but I will try it. Oddly enough, in service we would have paint simply lift because of bad prep...in effect the exactly what you are doing here. Compromise the bond. Boom...attenuated, there you go. Like most things it has its place and I can see it on parts of my next project (Tamiya Skyraider). I use pretty much only lacquers and find if you spray them thin (as you can with MRP and Gunze) they wear nicely. I have even tried metalic/Matt varnish then top coat and abraded with fine abrasive and it works nicely, the Matt giving that buffer which if you cut through then shines as well. Great stuff, right about Martin, hilarious and talented. Thanks Will

It's easy for me, spray on the layers of paint in the order that they'd be applied by the manufacturer, and then sand them off where they wear. The worse spittle from the adjusting the pressure on the first two layers, the better the wear pattern. He who controls the spray, controls the chipping. So, knowing how to make larger and smaller "dots" of paint coming out onto the surface, makes creating the pattern to the chipping happen. Once dry, sanding back into these layers is a lot more precise than hairspray philosophy.

I think there is a big difference beetwen Armour and aircraft chipping. Tanks got flat surfaces and mostly raised panel lines, so chipping is probably better by painting it on. Altough Martin (night shift) never did an aircraft so he can't say that his technique is better on aircrafts too. Aircrafts got no raised panel lines and not so many edges, therefore it's hard to make realistic chipping on engine cowling,where pilot climbs,gun bays etc . I have seen Martin 's video of chipping tutorial and he always focused on the edges but chipping on aircrafts aren't always on the edges so the paint on technique is too hard to look realistic. At least from my experience hairspray and chipping fluid for aircrafts, paint on and sponge on Armour. Hope this helped someone!

no reaction unless there are defects in the colorcoat, and by the time you get to weathering you'll likely have a clear on top of it all anyhow. and yes.

What paint are you using for the aluminum, is it going over a gloss black primer or over bare plastic? I'm assuming that all of the markings and walkways are painted, as I'm sure decals would be destroyed during the chipping process. How did you get all of the individual fasteners so perfectly silver, paint? Thanks for sharing your techniques with us!

Opinions will differ, but re: prior comments on this video being too long, disagree. Your time spent on providing this chipping information is invaluable to the modeling community, IMO. So, thank you. One question…I’m using Mr. Color (their solvent-based acrylic line), so am assuming that will work here with that line?
@barpfoto6 ай бұрын
Thank you for the kind words! If you watch much of my stuff you know I don't give a shit about it being "too long". And I also strive to provide good information so I have to say… Mr. color is not a "solvent-based acrylic". Firstly because it's pure lacquer. Whatever similarity the resin in it has to what model makers called "acrylic" is pretty much in name only. Secondly, I always feel like the term "solvent-based" is nonsense. Even water is a solvent if you're a sugar cube. Regardless, it will also chip just like MRP, but it will also be challenging because it's just naturally a tougher and more water resistant coating.
@13coog6 ай бұрын
@@barpfotoPoints taken…and you’re right, H2O is the universal solvent after all! I described it as such (“solvent-based acrylic”) only because that’s exactly what Gunze calls it. 🙂 Honestly, I’m confused most of the time re: paint chemistry. I chose Mr. Color largely because of the model’s instructions and needed colors. I do want to try other brands, like MRP. In any case, by managing the variables (especially layer thickness in particular), sound like Mr. Color will work. I already decanted TS3. Thanks again!

I cannot argue with the results, and I certainly will not argue with someone that is so many leagues above me in modelling, but something about using hairspray on a model just doesn't seem right. Does it not affect the hold of the paint to the surface? Obviously that is what you want for the areas that are to be chipped, but what about the rest of the model? Is that paint going to peel or flake later? Or be prone to chipping in handling? The effect looks epic, but I'm a but concerned about long term durability...
