The black background works really well, I didn't even notice it until you said! Just a side note: I'm pretty certain that 'flat base' isn't a varnish, but used to Matt down gloss and satin paints by adding varying amounts. 'flat clear' is the Matt and, obviously, 'gloss clear' is the gloss. Tamiya's semi gloss is X-35 'semi gloss clear'. Keep up the good work fella 👍
@Panzermeister364 жыл бұрын
No, Flat Clear is not matte. It is satin. It is between "flat" and "clear" which tamiya use for matte and gloss, respectively. It's what I sprayed onto the model and it's not matte. You also can use Flat Base as a varnish as I have done in the past, but it's not ideal. I'm mainly just using it as a visual aid of matte to demonstrate my point.
@drizztthedrow2525 Жыл бұрын
Yeah Tamiya flat clear is their matt its just not really matt. The flat base is to add to gloss paints to make them matt. Tamiya do a semi-gloss which is their satin.

Certain airbrush acrylics like Vallejo can be thinned or reactivated with airbrush thinner. Personally, I hate enamels with a passion so I'm stuck doing acrylic washes. It's just quite a bit harder- work in small areas and touch it up with the thinner ASAP.

The screens shot, at 50 seconds into video showing X-21, XF 86 and X22 lined up, is what I based my using Tamiya X-21for my final matt finish on my 2 month long build of a Zvezda Panzer IVG. In your video X-21appears to be presented along with it's medium finish and gloss counterparts, so......naturally..... I had used a lot of your techniques and the finish turned out perfect. My best build to date. Then I totally ruined it in the end with the X21 leaving the model with a frosty snow like surface . I'm beyond mad right now. First, please tell me what went wrong. Dilution was 3-1 thinner to paint. There is no real information about using X-21 on the internet except horror stories. My fault in the end but I never saw this one coming.
@Panzermeister363 жыл бұрын
I've used X-21 in the past as matte before. Thin it down super thin with lacquer thinner, apply it in very thin coats, and avoid spraying too much into corners where you'll get frosting. If you've got build-up of frosting you can just rub it off with a brush apparently. It's just talcum powder.
