Weathering Model Cars Part 1: Chipping and Barrier Coats

#diy #handmade #airbrush #creative #creativity #modelcars #scalemodel #igotfrizzosback #ford #chevy #mustang #mopar #dodge #plymouth #automobile #weathering #weathered
The launch episode of a new series: Weathering Model Cars. From simply adding dimensional depth to rusting out an entire car, this series will teach both basics and advanced techniques for weathering model cars.
In Part 1, we'll lay the foundation for adding rust, wear and depth to a Revell 1971 Mach 1 Mustang. We'll learn the importance of telling a story with the model, and how the story influences the choices of techniques and materials to build a realistically weathered model car.

Talking about the rain and working outside. I get it. I worked for the railroad for 30 years. I didn't care when it rained as long it didn't while I was at work. Especially when the temp was just above freezing.

[@rickzinck9326]

Excellent information Frank. Thanks pal. #igotfrizzosback

[@dirtroadcinderella1854]

Thanks for the tips and giggles. Looking forward to learning more. Keep it up down there and hello from the north Catskill Mountain region.

[@scotteriksen4825]

I did some similar weathering on a few of the ship models I did,,,,good video Frank!

[@Bruces-Eclectic-World]

Awesome Frank! I'm watching intensely because I'm doing 2 projects that are going to need weathering and I want to try new ways of rusting and weathering... So get to it man.. Kidding. 🤣😁 #igotfrizzosback LLAP 🖖

[@LarrysModelShop]

Thanks for the opening shots for this amazing tutorial. I'm still waiting to see if you look for your glasses though. Awesome stuff Frank.

[@RhondaMcConnell-se9kh]

Great video. Excellent tutorial. Thanks for your efforts. I have a bottle of future from the 90’s. I used it on a couple of military models recently as a barrier. It seems to work. Time will tell if it yellows. Can’t wait until the next installment.

[@nickarvanites9409]

Another great video friend things back memories of my weathering during my military phase, never knew that about aqua gloss as I used MiG/AK weathering products, even their chipping fluid, … or you can just use rustoleum 😂😂

[@BluSkye17]

I enjoy my lineman holidays, except when the air isn't working in my truck.

[@modeledoutcustomz3855]

Future floor polish was Pledge and now its Quick Shine floor polish

[@nismojukerich2994]

Quick Shine isn't the same product as Future/Pledge was. It's considered a replacement to some but it's not nearly as good.

[@modeledoutcustomz3855]

DeadPool from Marvel comics

[@jimbucci3474]

Great tutorial Frank. You mention that you drilled a hole for the door locks. What material do you use to replicate the door locks? 🤔

[@FranksModelWorks]

@@jimbucci3474 the holes are for the door handles, which have been drilled and pinned. The door locks will come off the photoetch fret from Model Car Garage.

Get a haircut you hippie! Hey speaking of chocolate, the best chocolate milk is promised land! It tastes like a cold liquid Hershey bar! Look for it in the grocery store. Now as far as weathering, I've done one and sucked at it. Although it didn't start out as a rust bucket. I'm definitely going to pay attention to the series. The exhaust looks great. If you stopped at that point with it would it look like an exhaust with heat staining? I'm wanting to do better looking exhaust.

[@FranksModelWorks]

@@modelbuildingcorner exhaust staining can be achieved with clear blue, yellow and violet paint. It’s a PITA, but doable. I’ll do a quick tutorial one of these days.
