Barbatos, I will never stop saying to myself “wow! He makes great videos!” Even though they’re so long of length. They don’t feel too choppy becasue you omit music, special effects, on-screen graphics, etc. which makes the video so much more digestible. I feel that your videos are the best because of this, the over-the-top pop or electronic music in most vids about these do not make understanding the topic easier. Yes, it may work for a model building/painting timelapse, but they don’t work for tool reviews or the higher precision things like paints. They are highly informative and actually make the hobby fun. It makes it easier to explore new techniques and tons of paints!

[@barbatosrex9473]

I guess not all decals are created equal but I'll certainly be picking up some Mr. Mark Setter next time I'm at my LHS (plus a new LiPo for my radio transmitter that just decided to puff up...)

Great video! I'm sitting here panel lining a gundam while watching this. Decals scare me but I like how your process is outlined here. Just wondering if you have any tips for dealing with waterslide decals for RG or just tiny decals in general.

[@barbatosrex9473]

I would just did one piece at a time for 10 seconds then remove from water and let it sit for about a minute till it slides off. With tiny decals apply a decal solution with a very tiny paint brush. Do 1 or 2 to start with and let that sit overnight and check the results. If you like what you see then you're good to go

[@casuallycompetitivecwiss9321]

Thanks man! I started using waterslides successfully because of you. I have a question about after it dries. If there's still residue left from setter/softer is it ok to topcoat that to get rid of it? I'd just be worried about ruining the decal if I try to wipe it off before

[@barbatosrex9473]

[@ibidesign]

A great review. You should add the "thank$" button to all your uploaded videos. If you had gloss-coated all test pieces first and used a clean facial tissue to actually press the applied decals into place after using the 'set' solution 1, you'd have much better results over the rivets for each of the brands. The 'silvering' you've experienced around the edges is air bubbles trapped under the decal's clear film over the microscopically rough surface of the nearly-matte Tamiya base-paint. I know you did a subsequent test video on applying decals over matte vs gloss paint. I also gloss-coat over the finished decals to blend the gloss of the decal out with the subject's surface; let dry two days, then hit it all with the final matte clear coat (for military non-specular finishes). One question: did you rinse/clean your application brush between the various solutions to avoid 'cross-contamination' of your test solutions?

[@Johnny-tt8zc]

Tip. Tamiya flat clear has been known to eat some decals.it a little too hot. It needs a barrier like testers flat coat first. I usually do (on armor and aircraft) Tamiya-decals-testors-Tamiya. Personally I think Tamiya is superior to testors flat clear. I will try mr. setter,usually use Tamiya mark fit strong. Very informative video. Stay safe 🍻🌲

Great vid & appreciated to your effort on this vid My opinion - 1st we do clear lacquer on model surface, then decals are applied later apply Matt coat - just my opinion that the matt coat can also secure as the decals fixer....

[@Perfusionist01]

VERY GOOD! I am an old hand at models but I have stayed stuck in my old habits. First I was surprised to see no mention of Walthers' Solvaset. Sold for model railroads and far older than you or most video watchers, but still very good decal softener. In fact it can be so powerful that one must use it carefully. I use MS setter/softener then let the decal dry then attack it with Solvaset to get the decal down over rivets, etc. It's cost is mid-range but usually available through many hobby shops. It reeks of strong acetic acid. Re; Stains- I was taught to wait until the decal \and softener were dry then GENTLY go over the decal with a damp Q-tip, or lint free rag or whatever and GENTLY wash off the remains of the setting solution before coating. I was also taught to use a gloss or gloss coated surface then decal, then gloss AGAIN before applying the dullcoat - properly applied decals disappear! I was very interested in your results with the chrome paint. Some model train passenger cars come with a plated metal finish that is darned hard to get good results with decals. Many years ago the HAWK model company did a series of plated plastic aircraft kits that had the same difficulty - decals just looked HORRIBLE against that finish, I don't know if you have done it but I would suggest a test of finishing coatings. Many aircraft guys swear by a coat of acrylic floor coating (Future) for a gloss finish. I always used Glosscoat and Dullcoat but these have been backordered (at least in my region). I have used Krylon Matte Finish but only changed about a month ago. I get good brush results with Vallejo Matte Varnish (I use that when I apply a small decal or need to re-dull a touch up). I would be interested to see your shoot out. Sorry for the long-winded reply but the decal solution test really is a benefit! Thanks for doing this!

This video has been incredibly helpful. I just got back into scale modeling recently and I am looking to take my model to the 'next level' by learning more techniques.

Is the gloss coat really required?

[@soyUsernameWasTaken]

The smoother the surface, the better decals will stick. More contact area for the decals to grab on. If surface is rough, decals will only stick to the raised areas. Some people also say that air bubbles could be trapped under the decal. Do you have to gloss coat? Nah. You'll do okay even without. Will it make your decals game better? Yeah.

Omg, I have been wondering if I just sucked at decals or if there was some step I never did, or just doing it wrong, and sure enough, I've been missing a step lol. Damn it. I hate doing decals but you gotta use em
