I haven’t been doing this hobby for too long and I only use acrylic hobby paint, but in my experience the thing about the brushes is wrong. From the little experience that I have I’d tell you that stiffer brushes (the ones recommended in the video) are definitely better for applying fine details, but to cover large surfaces it’s way better to use the more loose brushes. I realized this because when I started I used only the looser brushes, but then I got a pair of stiffer ones as part of a gift. After using both types both ways I’m confident enough in making this statement.

Me too! I made loads of kits as a child. Those that I painted were never done right, because I didn't understand or learn about painting techniques, and was always in a rush to finish the job. I have a couple of kits to make now and will aim to do a better job, with the help of the "youtube library".

I am semi experienced. I've done most of my models as a kid, and until recently where I have managed to get proper paints and equipment, just slapping on similar paints and drybrushing here and there. And so far after some rough patches I'm starting to improve my quality. Despite that I still come to some of these "beginner" videos because I aim to do things with brushes, powders and washes, because I can't really afford an airbrush at the moment and have nowhere to do it. And it's a great place to pick up tips and tricks. Therefore I have to say, aside from you advice and tips about which make and makeup of the brush (Which I will have to look into as some of my brushes are a bit lacking for what I want to do) I do have to point out 2 things you do in this video that beginners should not do. 1 - DO NOT put your brush so far into the paint that it goes right up to the metal bit/ place where it joins the handle. This is one of the quickest ways to destroy a brush, because the paint gets into the place where the hairs are, and is extremely hard to wash out and it then dries and ruins the shape of the brush. (You should try and keep all your paint in the bottom half of the brush towards the tip, as this is where most of the "Work" on the brush is done) I know that you're buying cheap brushes, but with proper care cheap brushes can last a long time, and some people might not have £20 to spend on replacing all their brushes every 2 months, I know I certainly don't. 2 - DO NOT leave your brushes tip up after washing them, leave them tip down. This is for reasons similar to the first point. Some brushes have wooden handles, some have plastic, you could probably find glass handled brushes if you looked hard enough, but what they all have under the ferrule (metal bit) is the place that holds the bristles in. This might be glue, it might just be wedged, but it is still the same. The water underneath that ferrule doesn't dry quickly, and it can rot wooden handles leading to the brush falling apart, and in most cases with cheap brushes it will start to slowly degrade the glue keeping the bristles there, and it will quickly fall apart on you. This is from my personal experience with my brushes, and also from when I was searching around for brush maintenance and what types of brushes to use, and in addition to my experience it is a general consensus in the places I've seen. I used to leave my brushes flat because it was easier, but I recently had a brush cleaning session where I put some restorer/wax on them so I could store them. It's startling the amount of water you see on the brush plastic covers that comes out when you dry them tip down compared to flat or tip up, which means all this water was previously being drawn/drained/sucked into the part of your brush where the bristles are anchored. Needless to say from that point I am endeavouring to put my brushes tip down until they are bone dry. If they are bone dry store them however you want, although I would advise against resting them on the brush itself, as that is another way to a shagged brush. sorry for the wall, but I felt i needed to explain it all instead of just shouting two things seemingly with no reason.
@andreaslorrain7573
@andreaslorrain7573 2 жыл бұрын
I was looking through the comments to see if somebody had already pointed it out. It's indeed a no-go to dry your brushes upright. Not only for the reasons you mentioned but also because the water build-up will expand the bristles into the handle which will cause the brush to lose its shape. Simply making a small construction with blue-tack or some clips/clothespins to dry your brushes can save you a lot of money!

BEEN MODELING MANY YEARS & Folks while you CAN make a model look nicer with an airbrush it IS outrageously more expensive in quite a few ways. The initial cost & time. So the expense of buying it, then all the products replacement parts, extra nozzles, needles and rare occasional gaskets. The Gun & Compressors. Paints & extra solvents.Vented fan spray booths& filters.The clean up time , set up time more area needed. Relatives that still complain of the smells. THE NEED TO STILL OWN BRUSHES! Listen I am probably STILL forgetting some things but you got the picture. I bought all that CRAP over the years. Now I am wanting to learn this technique for GOOD REASON! SO TAKE MY ADVISE,PLEASE! So your 1st few models may look like crap so what it takes time. Stick with it. Buy cheepies till they come out alright. Watch a ton of videos . that saves so much time and money. Then when you are happy with the results. BUY THE BEST FITTING MODELS YOU CAN FIND! IT WILL SAVE A TON OF TIME ON PUTTY SEAM GAP FILLING. Not necessarily the most expensive just research the best fitting model. I like excellent outside detail but I do not need the most accurate model with excessive fine parts. just the basics with a very nice fit as seamless as possible. Hope my advise helps some one. Keep on building and most of all HAVE FUN.

Otherwise, I hope you enjoy the video and find it helpful! :)

Many painters use them, especially for painting minifigures. One of the best is Winsor and Newton series 7. If you will take care of your brushes, they will last for a long time.

I am a bit confused on mixing to consistency of milk. Water droppers surely help, but how many drops would I need to add if I want to mix well?
@thatpolishhotdog
@thatpolishhotdog 7 жыл бұрын
He says 7 parts paint to 1 part thinner. This is because he uses a little dropper that measures by "parts". For example, if you have a 14 mL Humbrol enamel paint can, then you can put in 2 mL of paint thinner and you will get roughly the consistency of milk. TA-DA! On that note, I also recommend using Humbrol brushes. I have a couple from starter kits and they are surprisingly REALLY good. They are soft and work very well with enamel paint.

Using drops isn’t as accurate as a gradated syringe, but as long as you’re careful to make the same size drops, you just count: A mix of 1:4 means you put 1 drop of thinner in something (I use plastic spoons), and then you put 4 drops of the paint in. Mix with a toothpick and you’re good to go.

Ive just started model building and all the people i talked about it told me that i have to "use an airbrush and dont forget to buy a compressor" which is not something i dont want but i dont want to spend 200 dollars.Ive also read that cheap airbrushes and compressors wont last as long as the more premium ones which are extremly pricey to the paint that theyll cost as much as my gaming pc.After watching your video i was happy knowing that any other method of painting your scale models is viable.Thanks

Thanks! I used to airbrush quite a bit and I still do occasionally but for some reason (actually I hate cleaning up the airbrush afterwards!) brush painting models is attractive to me these days. My biggest obstacle to overcome is to not hurry and try to cover in one coat. Must force myself to slow down and do three thinned coats!

thanks, I always wondered why the models I made as a kid were looking kinda fake when I painted them because I never used thinners. so thanks for the info.

Thank you for the video. Some very useful tips. Also, the man made fiber brushes are vegan friendly. I don't use hairs from animals killed to make brushes. To get the pointed tip back on your brush after cleaning I simply flick the brush, a quick downward motion. I learnt this from 30 years as a dental technician.

Thank you for the excellent video! I haven't built models since I was a teen back in the 80s. Been really anxious to start up again and get away from electronics for a few hours (that and my kids are showing interest also). These videos make it less intimidating to get started back up again (might even try some dioramas).

Wow Owen thank you so much for this tutorial! I have 3 fully-built models sitting waiting to be painted, I didn't dare to use an airbrush on them. The good thing is I already have a collection of paints and brushes! Will proceed to paint them stat

Paint brushes are best dried lying flat, or if possible hanging with the bristles pointing down. The reason for this is to remove moisture as quickly and thoroughly from the ferule end of the brush, which helps stop the water loosening the glue that holds the bristles. You lose fewer bristles over time this way.

This is great. I've been trying to learn model making as I go. Was trying to figure out why the enamel I was using was so patchy and thick and realised I needed to thin it. Been looking for a decent guide, Thanks.

Brilliant, I'm glad I'm not going to screw up my Wallace and Gromit Van. I'd love to buy and use a Air Brush, But I'm a novice on that and they're quite expensive for one project. So hopefully with these techniques I wont screw it up

Thank you for the tips, I just started model building/painting and your advice helped me paint my first aircraft, I didn't do any washes or anything, but it looks nice for a start model. I tried finding good tutorials but they were mostly for airbrushing. Your video helped me remove obvious brush strokes and I also did my freehand camo by watching you do it. I'm a wargamer so high details aren't my priority, however with your videos explaining things I'm confident I'll be adding some extra tidbits to my models. I've also got my hands on two copies of the same model (truth be told one is 1/72 the other 1/76) but I indend to do the other half a year from now to see how much I've improved over the time. Great work, keep it up. :)

You can use a prismacolor Sanford brand metallic silver colored pencil to almost professional effect for paint chips and propeller wearing areas. A white one works well for cockpit instruments.
