Thanks for these videos! The hairspray method is quite good for the pocket in my country where all ak products are super expensive. Also, have you tried artist graphite fixer? it is basically the same as hairspray fix but a stronger mix, it is used to fix graphite on paper for drawing. Maybe it gives different results, as it is also water soluble.

Hey Panzermeister - great video :) I just completed my own video on chipping, and I also found that AK Interactive gave less control compared to hairspray, less subtlety in the results. For me the big surprise was Vallejo Chipping Medium - it seems to be that elusive "best of both worlds". I always try to recommend saving money, but in this case I'm a convert to Vallejo's product! Cheers, Dave

Something I tried last week was two-colour chipping with the hairspray technique, suprisingly it actually worked out very well. I first painted the tank in silver, followed by some hairspray, then black followed by hairspray and then the main colour. It really worked very well with some very realistic chips.

Remember that it is called "heavy chipping fluid". It is made for heavy weathering, they have another product for smaller chips. The heavy chipping one is meant to make the effect of something that is very heavily worn or just very old

I know this is a year or so old, but I would just like to say a HUGE thank you for doing this video. For months now I have been putting off painting my Takom 1/35 SMK which is a cracking kit, but I wanted to do a winter white camo over the base green colour. I have been trying Tresomme hair spray and chipping fluid from Mig. I have been using acrylic white paint(s) from various manufacturers and the only results I could get was large flaking. I tried all sorts of combos (on a dummy model) of time to dry, heaviness of both paint and fluid etc, but nothing seemed to work. Then I watched your video, and I heard you say about using Tamiya (alcohol) based. Bingo. It worked like a treat. That was the missing link. Now onto my SMK. Thank you, much appreciated.

I use "aussie" pump hairspray from 'Dollar General' applied by airbrush (don't know the pressure all I have right now is that cheap 'Master Airbrush' on demand pump) and Vallejo paint. I'm able to get some pretty fine chipping. I have found it important to make sure to get even coverage with two thin coats of both hairspray and paint, because the thicker paint produces bigger chips as well as longer drying time.

I used to use the Hairspray technique but, since I got AK's 'Heavy Chipping' effect I have not looked back. Like you I found that there maybe added chemicals in hairspray which may tamper with later painting processes, this alone put me off. I also found that hairspray was a lot harder work to remove in general, and could sometimes find myself scrubbing down to the bare plastic on some raised areas, not to mention that it became stupidly hard to remove after a week or so had past. Also the application through the spray can seemed a bit hit-and-miss, I found it lacked the precision of the airbrush and, that many areas could be missed. As for AK's chipping effect, I love it! At first it was a steep learning curve, which can be seen on a couple of my models I first tried it on, but after a while I grew more used to it. The application of the AK chipping fluid is important, and the difference between adding 1 to 2 to 3 coats..etc... can make the difference, the same goes to removing it. The fluid activates very aggressively thus, if you are too heavy handed with it, you can overdo the chipping. This doesn't mean fine chipping cannot be achieved, use this ease of chipping to your advantage and hey presto, fine chipps. The only issue I found with the AK chipping fluid is that it goes stringy after a month or two of not being in use, this will require the paint pot to be filtered, otherwise it will jam the airbrsh. A bit of a disappointment after such great results elsewhere. However this is my experience and this is what works for me, the best thing to do in modelling is try new things, and find what works best for yourself. As always a very formative video with some great points highlighted, very professional with the two test beds. I also liked the comparison between two finished models, as it showed how the different products can effect/ be utilized for the finished model. Keep up the good work! Thanks

Interesting comparison video! For light chips vs hairspray as mentioned below you want to compare AK's lighter chipping fluid, which is not very well named imo as worn effects (instead of 'light') but anyway appreciate the comparison!

Also, keep in mind what paints you are using. Acrylics, typically, are more difficult to chip - Tamiya acrylics, thinned with water, are good though (not a true acrylic). Apparently Lifecolor is good too (haven't tried them for chipping). Enamels work really well.

@Ebergerud5 жыл бұрын
I think there's a big X factor in what paint you use. Adam Wilder recommends Tamiya thinned 1:1 with water. That will weaken that paint - you'd never thin Tamiya with Water. The intention is to weaken the paint - in other words do something you wouldn't do for a regular paint job. After all, you want the paint to come off. Rinaldi uses Tamiya with lacquer thinner. I've actually had decent luck with AK - but I use their "Worn Effects" which is considerably milder than "Heavy Chipping" - and AK claims you can brush the stuff on just as well as airbrush it. I think Dave's good luck with Vallejo was due to the light hand used - heavier use with any of the chipping fluids will cause big chips - although that might be exactly what you want. Rinaldi sometimes skips the hairspray/fluid step completely if using whitewash - he takes it off with a light brushing with lacquer thinner - and that does work. (I've found that if the chipping is coming slow, just dampen it a little with ISP - then give it a light brush - a paint brush, not a tooth brush. I think that doing whitewash and just aiming for standard chipping may require different approach.

I've never used that product specifically, but I may have an idea. Are you applying it in a few super thin coats, just misting it on? Those cracks appear with the AK Interactive chipping fluids if you apply too heavy of a coat of the chipping fluid, or if you apply the top colour before the chipping fluid has entirely dried.

Well..lol. I put the oils on cardboard taking the paint from the top. It seemed to be drying rather quick so I started right away.

@Panzermeister365 жыл бұрын
+JPMerce12 yeah usually oils are not used for chipping, but for doing dust and streaking effects and tinting of the base colour. Acrylics dry fast so myself and many other use them for chipping. And yes, the oils will start to dry out after you leave them out on the cardboard. That is fine; they're not like acrylics where it can be hard to reactivate without ruining the paint. Leave them out for a number of hours, then once the linseed oil has soaked out you can reactivate the oil paint with a little thinner. They'll be just like when they came out of the tube, just now they're thinned with proper enamel thinner or whatnot instead of linseed oil.
