Tamiya Weathering Master Review Star Wars Model Custom

[@sandmanhh67]

the brush is for dry brushing type application, the sponge head one is for dabbing and spotting, and you are meant to do it on a matt finish as it doesnt adhere well to gloss. You also need to matt coat it once you are done.

[@aercastro82]

When using the flat brush from these Master kits, use a X-Acto knife and with the pointed side of the blade scratch a small amount on the surface of the pastel until debris or powder show and it will be easier to capture these debris with a flat brush instead of rubbing it on a flat surface oily pastels. The flat brush works well on flat or round surface for dusty effects while the spongy brush works well for chipping and stain effects.

[@TheFwoosh]

Good to know, thanks for the tips!

[@RRW276]

I purchased some of the Tamiya weathering after seeing your video. There are seriously some great uses for this stuff! Especially getting metal to show thru paint rather than dry-brushing silver (which I know is basically what you're doing here, but the application and medium is different. Now, if you ever get a chance to try MIG productions (if you haven't already) the world is endless as far as weathering. I paint 54mm to 72mm military figures and small war dioramas. I've just recently stocked up on some Star Wars models to start doing them together with my son. I love painting (brush & airbrush)! We're getting ready to start painting Bandai's R2-D2 & R5-D4.... I'm going to try and get away w/ doing paint and no decals, so we'll see. I already have most everything sanded, flash removed and primed. Fun!

[@TheFwoosh]

+Ronnie Williams You small scale painters have my respect, I think I would go blind painting those. Does MIG do the starship gunk, I think it's called? I've been wanting to try those out. And I dig painting too, but I just got into doing the waterslide decals on these kits (finally) and it is so easy it's ridiculous. Then you can weather right over them with no trouble at all.

[@Tigrillo]

needs to put a top coat paint over the weathering job to protect it? great tutorial. sorry if my english level is bad...

[@TheFwoosh]

+Tigrillo Yeah, it will need a sealer of some kind. You can still smudge and smear it with your fingers after it's applied.

[@XXTROB]

Very cool, I've never seen these.... Of course I never have time to paint but I might get some of these. That sand trooper looked pretty cool

[@TheFwoosh]

+XXTROB I can never seem to find the time to paint either. Hopefully these will speed things along. Thanks!

[@connorob166]

I am pretty sure you need a bit of top coat. And I think the brush is intended for more blending and removing excess. But was cool to see some other kits effects

[@kairus1]

I've been wanting to get these weathering kits for a long time now. they are good stuff.

[@MrEarbuckets]

the brush is for blending/dry brushing

[@erfederizo]

You need to put a top coat first, I recommend a matte top coat, then start the weathering, then coat it again

[@Tony-1971]

ER FEDERIZO Would Tamiya matte top coat spray be okay to use to seal it ?

[@GojirajJr]

Since they are both from the same company, they should work together well

[@thejmeister]

Watching this in 2021, it's almost like you were preparing figures for Mando seasons 1 and 2.

[@SuperGeoff70]

Yes you can pour a gloss coat on to protect and it looks great it doesn't change the look at all also the twerp hobby lobby stores I have near me in Wa state had sets A B and C I want set D for exhaust staining and one more thing the brush what I can tell us to blend our feather in the edges after you have applied with the sponge tip

[@Tony-1971]

What kind of top coat do you put on to seal it ? Would Tamiya clear coat spray work ?

[@ryzenenjoyer2824]

AESCULAPTORmark3 yeah, but it depends on what you want to put it on, tank? matt clear, plane? Idk matt or shiny clear, car? Matt or shiny clear coat. If you want it to be matt (not shiny) use matt clear, and if you want it to be shiny use... shiny clear (Bottle will say if Its matt or shiny)

[@Tony-1971]

@@ryzenenjoyer2824 Thanks for the info. Appreciate your help :)

[@ryzenenjoyer2824]

AESCULAPTORmark3 no problem :)

[@paulo2008dias]

the brush is for cleaning of softening on the surface where the pastel was applied..

[@TheFwoosh]

Ah, good to know, thanks!

[@crabslabbabs]

Eyeshadow. Plain and simple woman have been working on different textures and layers for years. There are a million different shades and colors, metallic finishes to nude and natural pigments. You can buy 50 different colors for like $10. For the price of this kit you can find hundreds of different textures and shades. It’s all about contrast and you can tailor your models specific color and terrain across a large spectrum for less money

[@c00l0ne]

Where did u buy the extra applicator?

[@Shakes_The_Clone]

Green Screen Robo. Does the trick every time!

[@stompingfreak8980]

I love these pastels. Great review. Now where were we..... ... WATER SLIDE DECALS! You know where this is going. Have fun mate.

[@TheFwoosh]

+Stomping Freak Fun is the name of the game!

[@SeymoreTheDisappointed]

Would a gloss coat be used to protect the paint and decals

[@TheFwoosh]

Yup, that's exactly what it's used for.

[@quantryli]

@@TheFwoosh What if I don't have topcoat

[@TravisHi_YT]

@@quantryli Then it's going to rub or wear off faster.

[@urielcoria6511]

If you use a flat clear coat to seal it all in do you know if it will be waterproof as well?

[@malcolmar]

Nice! Thank you. I will be picking these kits up!

[@TheFwoosh]

+malcolmar They come in super handy, quick and easy. I just used the silver to do some touches on Boba Fett, worked like a charm.

[@malcolmar]

Nice! I don't know why no one didn't think of this earlier. How durable is it? Does it need time to cure like paint?

[@TheFwoosh]

malcolmar No, it's on and then done, but it does need to be sealed afterwards. You can still rub it or wipe it off with a wet rag until it's sealed.

[@malcolmar]

Thanks.

[@tpickup11]

Wish I knew about these before weathering my Bandai R2 and R5-D4! Oh well, I plan on making more astromechs out of the Bandai model kit design like R3-S6, R4-P17, R2-KT, etc, etc, so I may have to get these sets for them!

[@TheFwoosh]

+Tyler Pickup aka Starpool I still have another set to build too, just haven't decided what to make of them yet. So many options. But yeah, I'll probably use these on my R5, he just has to be dirty!

[@phayzyre1052]

Compared to pastel chalk do these Tamiya Powders hold up better? I've used pastels many times over the years but pastels seem to have a tendency to either fade away or (in a few cases) go completely transparent, even when sprayed over with a clear sealer.

[@TheFwoosh]

I'd say the powders hold up better, they are almost a little oily and stick better.

[@phayzyre1052]

Thanks for the info! I'll definitely have to give these a try.

[@ozner9928]

hi, im newbie in weathering, when it's already applied... can i remove it? if i can, what should i use for it to be removed? THANKS!

[@randyraber8157]

Hey what section in walmart did you find those extra applicators I couldn't locate them

[@TheFwoosh]

The make-up department. I believe they are for applying eye make-up?

[@Fire-bj5vc]

great video! I only have the F set and I really want to buy another, especially the mud and soot one. Will you post the weathered video of bobba fett kit?

[@TheFwoosh]

+Steven Johanes Yeah, I'm still waiting on a couple of things and want to get more practice in, but I'll post up Fett, Sandtrooper, and maybe R5 and the Speeder Bike when I get around to finishing them.

[@Tony-1971]

Great work. Also great that there were no Disney Star Wars figures in there.

[@TheFwoosh]

Yep, that's the thing to take from this video...no characters that offend you.

[@Tony-1971]

@@TheFwoosh Disney star wars doesn't offend me. It simply doesn't exist to me. Sounds like youre more offended about my comment. I didn't mean to upset you. I used one of these sets years ago and was just looking to see if I could find vids of people using products to seal the Tamiya weathering product. I wanted to see what it looks like with a clear matte coat on (does it darken down?). Found a few vids but you cant really see. Just about to test a matte coat out on a test piece now. It looks great without any top coat, but thin layers of this product appear shiny, which looks wrong. Thick layers aren't shiny though and look good.

[@ayum2142]

Which set did you use for the boba fett?

[@TheFwoosh]

Mostly D and F, some oil and gun metal.

[@ayum2142]

The Fwoosh thanks robo. Your the best

[@SofianeSweek]

Which Set did you use on the stormtrooper ? Which letter please :) like your work

[@TheFwoosh]

It was A, sand and light sand. Although it came out a little yellow for my taste, may need a little brown added in.

[@los9310]

I'm waiting on your Bandai Bob's fret custom video I just got into pastels Today and I used mod podge as a sealer bit it gets the color all over the face idk what to do there.

[@TheFwoosh]

+Carlos Torres I'm working on it right now, slow going because of time. I use Dullcote so our results may be different.

[@los9310]

+The Fwoosh okay thanks :)

[@suf3799]

Does it need top coat after apply it and do the powder stuff didn't disappear when you touch it

[@TheFwoosh]

+Muhd Sufri Yes, it needs a top coat. It won't rub completely off but it will smudge around when you touch it without a sealer of some kind.

[@adriancordero2927]

should i spray with transparent my stormtrooper after this weathering?

[@TheFwoosh]

+adrian cordero Yes, you need to seal the weathering in order for it to stay on.

[@adriancordero2927]

thanks :)

[@adriancordero2927]

what transparent paint did you use? thankssss :D im your fan ;)

[@TheFwoosh]

adrian cordero I use Testors Dullcote.

[@bagelbro1824]

The Fwoosh did you spray the whole figure with the dull coat? Also on the model kits if I sprayed over the stickers would that be bad or could I do that?

[@otterpuente]

This playlist needs that c3po video

[@napadaanlng69]

can q-tips be also used as an applicator?

[@TheFwoosh]

Yeah, those would work. I feel like they wouldn't hold up as well as applicators, but they can definitely be used.

[@RT-up6gx]

So I did this for a motorcycle exhaust...but it rubs off! How do you make sure it stays on after applying it? It currently is easily rubbed off. Thanks!

[@TheFwoosh]

You have to seal it with a matte of gloss sealer, like Future Floor Polish or Testors Dullcote.

[@RT-up6gx]

Would the tamiya matte gloss coat work? It's a tamiya model

[@TheFwoosh]

Should work fine, any good sealer will hold it on there.

[@RT-up6gx]

The Fwoosh thanks!

[@TopSecretVid]

Yes spray dull coat...before applying

[@gregwoolliscroft6255]

thanks that looks great...

[@mitchellhogg4627]

that's tamiya for ya

[@snowpuddle9622]

brush is not for application

[@gamervince3720]

Since nobody here has apparently watched a woman do her make up before...the spongy side is for application, the brush side is for blending. Also, don't waste money on these weathering sets. You can get the same thing from the Dollar Store (or whatever is in your area) for waaay cheaper. Plus the range of colors is far better. Take your wife with ya though. So you don't look like a dumb ass. If you don't have a wife or girlfriend, guess you'll just have to suck it up.

[@TheFwoosh]

I have a wife but I have no problem walking down make-up aisles. Flip side, I know jack about make-up. What can I use as a substitute for these?
