How to: AK8003 || ATLANTIC BLUE, PART 1/3: Painting & Applying

[@craigstanley2848]

Once you have applied the Atlantic Blue what’s the best way to remove any bubbles?

[@ultraeclipsegaming3933]

What kind of brush did you use?

[@_sequence_1685]

Do you think a bottle of this (250 ml) would cover a 80x35 area well?

[@AKInteractiveOfficial]

it depends of the deep of the area you want to replicate..

[@MrBmill25]

Are you painting directly on to the foam or is there paper on top? If there is paper how do you keep the moisture in the paint from warping?

[@AKInteractiveOfficial]

Directly on the foam, no paper above ;)

[@namor3989]

But he did cut and glue a piece of paper on the foam. And then paint on the paper.

[@chrisbrannen8091]

How do you prevent bubbling?

[@AKInteractiveOfficial]

Hello, thanks for your question. By blowing over the surfaces with the airflow of your airbrush for example. We hope we helped.

[@eugeniolorenzini387]

I guess you use the airbrush to accelerate the drying process. Can i use an hair dryer with just air flow (not hot) to do the same?

[@AKInteractiveOfficial]

Yes, you can try it ;) Although the uniform drying not be the same it doesn't affect to the paint.

[@GGJason04]

Can you use this on bases too?

[@AKInteractiveOfficial]

Sure, just apply it as showed in the video.

[@paulojorgeliberato7428]

Is there any inconveniente of accelareting the drying process with use of a hairdryer?

[@AKInteractiveOfficial]

We think that surely it will dried first the surface, something that you will have to take into account before manipulating, on the other hand, I do not think that there is any more inconvenience

[@56Gumball]

It looks like Modge Podge with a coloured dye added.

[@Georgeconna32]

I heard this paint actually smells of the Sea, Is this True?

[@monk_arnie]

waited! :) +++

[@JANAN-ur8up]

in all these videos all i read is just "piece of foam". can you please explain exactly what type of foam you are using? a link to it would be a bonus. good work, and much thanks!

[@AKInteractiveOfficial]

This foam is used to insulate, which you can find it in a DIY hardware store, like a leroymerlin in Spain.

Nice i think, but why paint first, that looks great yes, but now you cant see it.

[@azuritet3]

you'll be able to see it after it dries. that's why the highlights under the water need to be so extreme, because you will barely be able to see them, so they need to be very exaggerated, like stage makeup.

[@Argumemnon]

I don't know why they made that weird artistic choice, but the music reminds me of Age of Empires II.

[@Hacienda_27]

Half good, Half crap, their wave effects is so far, utterly crap
