Mike Silver Я пытаюсь сделать мои видео легче смотреть с меньшим количеством чтения, поэтому нет текста. Но я все равно буду показывать инструменты и краски я использую

[@Armyinscale]

excellent!

[@doobsnack]

Outstanding work sir!

[@hakankursat6418]

I didn't understand what you were doing after 4:05 . paints over paints but there were already dark grey and you painted a jet exhaust. and you put the masking tape just after painting but it caused no damage to the paint ! And what are you spraying at 6:25 you didn't write. :D great job this is art and patience !!!

[@TheInnerNerd]

This was to get the space between the petals uniform dark grey which is commonly seen on the exhaust can. The paint dries very quickly as it is so thin and lacquer based too so tape is no problem. At 6:25 I am spraying Alclad Copper very lightly into the can to give a burned/charred effect

[@davidemarzin9196]

Another fabulous step. When you use the XF1 Black in the internal part fo jet intake, it's a drybrush correct? See you soon!! D.

[@TheInnerNerd]

davide marzin Thank you. Yes it is, just to get an uneven sooty effect from the jet burn

[@7Markandrews]

Byudiful. totally awsome

[@thadrepairsitall1278]

Just wow.

[@TheInnerNerd]

Thank you and thanks for watching :)

[@FernandoHenrique-ij3tt]

Great video! amazing..!!! just a quick question ... what paint are you using at 6:28 minutes (alc 104 again ..??) ?? .. Awesome work!!... All the best !!!

[@TheInnerNerd]

Fernando Henrique Thank you. Yes it is, just to even the tones underneath

[@FernandoHenrique-ij3tt]

Thank you! :-)

[@wolfgang2007aaaaaaaa]

Hmm interesting... I noticed you first used the allclad jet exhaust directly onto the plastic. I thought a primer and then gloss black was supposed to be used as a base for the allclad stuff?

[@TheInnerNerd]

Yes it does work fine just straight onto the plastic. But if you want to make the metallic colour "pop" it's better to use a gloss black base - especially the chrome and high shine aluminium/brass colours

[@RespectBeautyTruth]

Great video and *excellent* work! If I may make a suggestion though, turn off your auto-focus - as you work you're moving the parts and your camera can't keep up but some bits and we're missing some of your fine work. Again, great work and a fine video, Thank you!

[@llNATEDOGGll]

Is this the F-100 resin exhaust for the f-16? Or the stock OOB one from Tamiya?

[@TheInnerNerd]

This build was all out of the box, no resin or other aftermarket set were used :)

[@llNATEDOGGll]

@@TheInnerNerd Strange, my OOB F-16 didn't have the detail towards the tip of the exhaust like this one.

[@viper341]

nice work I will be replicating your process in my tamiya f-16 build

[@TheInnerNerd]

Thank you and thanks for watching :)

[@da-madmodler4692]

Well if you were going for brand new off the assembly line I’d say you nailed it.

[@TheInnerNerd]

Thanks. Yeah the of this bird stayed pretty clean also. Aggressor squadrons don't get too weathered out in the sun

[@vrp2222]

Hi! Could you tell me what dilution and needle you use with the chrome silver? My airbrush is stuck or it makes me granules on the model?thks!!!

[@TheInnerNerd]

Hello. I would suggest a thinner ratio of 40% into the paint making the mix 60/40 paint/thinner. I would highly recommend AK Interactive Xtreme metals or Alclad Lacquers since these paints are the best metal paints in my opinion and are also pre-thinned for airbrush use. Hope this helps and thanks for watching :)

[@spookyryder6482]

I bought one of the new Vallejo metal colors pale burnt metal but when it dries it looks like a silver color for some reason and not the color the f-16 engine nozzle is supposed to be.

[@TheInnerNerd]

Metal colours can be quite transparent and need to be built up in layers to get the full opacity of the colour. I have recently used AK's Burnt Metal paint on a project and it took several coats before you could even see the tones of the paint over the exhaust base colour of steel. A light base coat will also help with this, so a bright aluminium would be more receptive to Pale Burnt Metal than black for example. Hope this helps and thanks for watching :)

[@OBOGS]

Who new you could put so much detail on an engine?

[@FernandWolf]

hi Inner I have used Acrylic Paints for a long time, but after watching your videos and what you do with Alclad Paints which by the way is a work of art, I decided to give it a try on my exhausts, it looks awesome but I am having some trouble cleaning up my airbrush after use. What you use to clean the airbrush between colors? do you thin the Alclad’s? thanks again

[@TheInnerNerd]

Hello. First of all thank you, it's great to hear that my videos have inspired you to get into using a different technique and brand! So the answer to your question. You need some cellulose thinners. These will rid your airbrush of lacquer based paints. You can get vehicle cellulose lacquer thinner which will be the cheaper option in bulk. Acetone will also work just as well but it's a little harder to come by. Alclad II is pre thinned for airbrushing so no need to thin further proper to shooting. Hope this helps and any more questions let me know 👍

[@FernandWolf]

@@TheInnerNerd For Sure, after watching many of your videos I decided to try your amazing techniques, thank for posting. In this case Mr Thinner 400 will do the trick? I have a bottle laying around the shop.

[@TheInnerNerd]

@@FernandWolf Yes as long as it's the one with the yellow label that will do it

[@mjw1955]

Why not just use a black wash? Seems like it would save a lot of time.

[@thefirestrings]

hello! very good job ! What Thinner are you using with the X-11 ? Thanks!

[@TheInnerNerd]

Hello and thank you! I use Tamiya X-20A thinner but Mr Hobby Mer Color Self-Levelling thinner will also work well with Tamiya paints.

[@hakankursat6418]

What did you use as for thinning Tamiya chrome silver ?

[@TheInnerNerd]

I use Tamiya X-20A Acrylic thinner. Don't confuse this with regular X-20 as that is an enamel thinner

[@chrismurphy4005]

👍👍🔥

[@TheInnerNerd]

Thank you and thanks for watching :)

[@abh3960]

[@TheInnerNerd]
