Foam Kit Bashing Ep5 - Panel Lines & Weathering (Washes and Airbrush Shading)

[@rodwormington7513]

Great job and lots of good info. I am 72 and did a lot of body work on cars through the years. I too didn't wear a mask when doing quick small paint jobs. I have gone through cancer treatment for vocal cords and had a total laryngetomy and radiation treatments. Don't want anyone else to have to go through this..... So just a heads up.. Wish I had the advice 40 years ago. I'm a perfectionist, so I appreciate your hard work, advice and great videos. Rod

Stunning looking jet , i love it ....................

[@Thercgeek]

Thanks so much! :) I was really happy with how the airplane came out.

[@danielburke6536]

Incredible work,, I'm currently working on a small hawker hunter EDF , going to use those techniques 👍👍👍

[@Thercgeek]

Thanks so much! If you have any questions, I'm happy to help. Which hunter is it? Should fly awesome!

[@thenatedog]

Thanks for the tips! I have watched a bunch of different videos on panel lines. I am currently building a 1/7 scale f-100. Its more for fpv than scale (tired of the look of flying wings), but i wanted to add some panel lines. But most of the online tips are way too much work than i want to put into this plane. Your way seems a lot easier and forgiving.

[@Thercgeek]

Thanks for watching! Pencil works great for a quick and easy panel line assuming you have a hardened surface to draw over. And you can take it a step further by scribing should one choose. Panel lines using chart pack tape and primer coats and stuff like that are a pain.

[@RatherFlyRC]

Great work..

[@Thercgeek]

Thank you!

[@Ceusky]

Very helpful as usual thanks!

[@Thercgeek]

Thanks and thanks for watching!

[@bchboy1206]

That was awesome, thanks so much! I have to get me an airbrush kit!!!

[@Thercgeek]

Thanks! Let me know if you have any questions. I’m here to help!

[@jaysonfarmer157]

Very nice. What acrylic do you use in your airbrush as a final coat? If you do mix your raw umber, what is your mixture of raw umber to thinner?

[@Thercgeek]

For clear coat, of late I’ve been using the rust oleum matte clear and am liking it quite a bit. Being in a spray can makes it really easy. On the raw umber, when I thin it, I don’t have a set ratio. Mostly just thin it to the consistency I need and that’s only if I’m airbrushing it. Most of the time when I’m applying streaks and such, I don’t thin it at all.

[@isi3297]

Hey dude, it s incredible the work. But i ve got a question. What do you spray in the minute 3:47 to protect the plane??

[@Thercgeek]

I sprayed a lacquer clear coat over the model to protect the panel lines for the weathering process. I sprayed it over the entire model again after all of the weathering was completed.

[@spinnetti]

That's great, thanks..

[@josipvrandecic2472]

Good works.

[@Thercgeek]

Thank you!

[@LigthningII]

Great job. Love the techniques. Now if I can just do this?

[@Thercgeek]

I know you can! :)

[@marinjeam]

Thanks! nice job. will try it on my big scale Zero :)

[@Thercgeek]

Awesome, I look forward to seeing it! :)

[@NorthEastFPV]

hi great vid , i have been looking online for Raw umber by folk art , the only one i can find is Burnt umber , is this the same , thanks

[@Thercgeek]

Thanks! This is the stuff: amzn.to/2GjHyPE You can get it at hobby lobby and Michael's usually.

[@alwaysflying6540]

How long does it take you to finish a model like this

[@Thercgeek]

It really depends. For me, I tend to overthink everything and so it can take me a little longer to get a project done (not to mention family commitments taking precedence). Something like this can be done in as short as a few weeks up to a few months. It really depends on how much time is dedicated to working on it. You'll be surprised how quickly a project can be completed attacking it just little milestones at a time.

[@alwaysflying6540]

@@Thercgeek I want to take on a project like this but I can be quite fussy and don't want to over do things. Doing the panel lines and doing some fading I'm guessing would be a good start for me. Thanks for the response btw

[@Thercgeek]

I hear you. I can tend to get that way too. Start off a little at a time would be my recommendation.

[@jetstylez5875]

Wow do you have time to do mine??????

[@Thercgeek]

I barely had time to do mine, haha!

[@Firespectrum122]

Didn't know Viggo Mortensen was into RC ;)

[@Thercgeek]

Vigo Mortensen and Tony Hawk too. :p
