Martin. Tamiya putties seem to contain acetone. You could use it for this sort of clean-up you mention in this video. And also when the putty hardens in the tube. Just add a drop or two of acetone into the tube, mix it in with say a toothpick and you're ready to go. Saves a lot of money. And BTW I really enjoy your wonderful videos.
@RamMasterRay4 жыл бұрын
When I used to build Gundam models I would sometimes used a soldering iron to burrow battle scars into their shields and armor. The benefit of using the soldering iron is the displacement of plastic that looks a bit more like actual impacts on metal. Also adding a bit of rust color to some of the holes gives the impression of a vehicle that's been through several battles.

Right? This is what you do to the plastic to show that it's been destroyed- the "burnt out" part is what you would do with various paints and textures for rust, soot, rubber ash, paint distressed from heat, etc. Best way to replicate that is lots and lots of real life reference photos.

If you use a hot soldering iron or pyro tool with a pointed tip, it will quickly create holes with raised rims, without the need for drilling or putty. A tool with temperature control is best, IMHO, and copper tips can be easily filed to make irregular shaped holes.

I wouldnt consider a rotary tool specialized, if you dont have one yet it's your fault! You can pick up a good one with a kit for 25$ nowadays. Mastercraft from canadian Tire, one from harbour freight, it doesnt matter. As long as you dont push the duty cycles, which you wont doing terrain work, theyll last as long as a dremel. The main difference with a dremel is you can run them a lot through the day and the speed control is really fine, but honestly if all you can afford is 25$, you need one. They are a game changer. You can find uses everywhere. As far as the video itself, amazing. I love what you accomplished with that and ill be making use of it on my next terrain pieces!
