Great result!!! I really love that effect! Its perfect cause it is hard for me to find chipping medium here in Chile! Thank u Vallejo!👌🏻

[@rockstrongo831]

Maybe hairspray is easier to get

[@lovindablues]

Great video. Thanks for presenting a good way to use Liquid Mask. I will definitely have to try it out.

Can someone explain to me how this is better than regular chipping or painting chipping? Serious question, I feel like I'm missing something here. The only use case I can see for this is when you don't have an airbrush and you wish to reveal a complex paint scheme under the top coat - can't easily spray the top layer and paintbrush chipping would be too complex. But in every other case regular chipping would give you the power to control the effect after applying the top coat and brush painting would let you do whatever, better, if you lack the ability to use an airbrush. My main issues with this are that - The liquid mask tends to leave behind pieces, so when you apply it so randomly, you're bound to leave behind pieces that may peel off later. - You need to "blindly" apply the mask and whatever result you get is what you get. You can't add to the effect like with a layer of chipping fluid or if you'll be painting more chips, why even bother with the liquid mask in the first place.

Hello AKKK1182! Thanks for your comment and feedback! This option is one of many for getting the desired effect on your miniatures, walls, surfaces, or vehicles 😊 The painter will notice the differences and decide what option he likes or needs the most at a particular moment, so... freedom to choose and experiment with products and acrylics is always highly appreciated among painters 💪🏻

This is way too much effort for this effect. You could do the base grey color and then sponge on some rust colors. You could get the same effect with less work and without the probability or rubbing off your paint when you attack the surface with and airbrush cleaning brush.

[@viper29ca]

Yes, but you don't get the 3D effect of the chipping like you do with the liquid mask route.

[@DeepFakeFuorissimo]

Which method do you recommend between this and using Chipping Medium?

[@vallejocolors]

Hello DeepFakeFuorissimo! If you're just getting started or working with very big surfaces, this option might be a bit quicker or easier to give you that cool, weathered look in certain areas. Anyway, the look both products can achieve is a bit different, so it is up to you to choose the technique you like or need the most on a specific figure-vehicle-model. Hope that helps! :)

Isn´t it "dangerous" to remove the liquid mask with a WET brush, given the fact that the actual paint is also water based?

[@vallejocolors]

Hello Agustín! No, once dry, the paint remains intact on the surface :)

[@statoilbensin2190]

What model kit is used?

[@herrlogan17]

Hairspray technique seems more realistic to me with less effort and more precise. But good tip :)

[@vallejocolors]

Thank you so much! We can also learn a different way of making chipping :) Thanks for the tip!

[@chipchaffee2416]

I can do the same thing with hair spray in half the time and a lot less work. I’m not being a jerk but looks like a lot of work for not great results .

[@vallejocolors]

Hello! Painting is a hobby full of possibilities so let's welcome any kind of technique! But the point is that our paints promise that their results on your miniatures and models are safe and reliable, therefore we cannot recommend a product that we do not have information about its composition or if it has strong chemicals that can compromise your figure, your painting, affect color compatibility or maybe your health :) Thank you for your feedback! :)

[@narrakminis]

What are the actual colours you use for the white? Obviously the mecha grey for the base, but what are the other 2 colours?

[@vallejocolors]

Hello Narrak! You can read the colors used in the subtitles in the video at 4:12, PHANTOM GREY and WHITE GREY (you can make the transition with LIGHT GREY).

[@narrakminis]

@vallejocolors brilliant, thanks for taking the time to reply, it's much appreciated. I'll get those paints ordered now. Thanks again

[@vallejocolors]

@@narrakminis You're welcome! ❤

[@Raelvr]

the results are great, but it seem a mess to remove the mask from recessed areas....i just have the liquid mask, i use it for painting mask usually, but next time i'll make a tank i'll give it a try :-)

[@vallejocolors]

Thank you for your feedback Roberto! That's it! you can use tape or liquid mask depending on your needs and likes so feel free to test which one of them fits you the most with your projects :)

[@danialbero9894]

Chipping medium is not better?

[@vallejocolors]

If you dont have access to Chipping Medium you can also do it with Liquid Mask 😊

[@LubeckLee]

I cannot easily get chipping medium here in Chile and this tip works perfectly fine for me✌🏻i agree with them

[@Franciscorodriguesfc]

Could you please list all the Vallejo products used in the video?

[@vallejocolors]

Hello Francisco, Don put all the products used included in the video (text subtitles) :)

[@Franciscorodriguesfc]

@@vallejocolors Hi, thanks for the answer but the '4:08' time frame shows 3 paints but only 2 were described. A transition from Phantom Grey to White Grey was mentioned but the intermediate color was not described.

[@vallejocolors]
