dmthamade 3,122 Posted April 27, 2016 I can't take credit for "inventing" this method of chipping paint, read about it a loooong time ago, can't remember when. Might have been back in the 90's. Don 1 MARU5137 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shawn M 9,074 Posted May 10, 2016 well you did it and I blame you (lol) bought the old Revell japan kit of this. You don't happen to have the other IP (raised detail) you'd be willing to part with would ya? 1 dmthamade reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You don't happen to have the other IP (raised detail) you'd be willing to part with would ya? The instrument panel had the raised detail filed off so i could apply the decal, so i don't have a spare. I do have a whole bunch of decals i'll never used that you can have. PM me if your interested. Don 1 MARU5137 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dmthamade 3,122 Posted May 11, 2016 I like how simple the chipping is. I don't know how this works with enamels, etc as i've only used it with Tamiya acrylics, so experiment 1st. Don 1 MARU5137 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MARU5137 14,035 Posted May 18, 2016 I quite like the rubber chipping idea .. Nice work Don. Thank you for sharing your new found tip. to nice build so far... Can't wait for more....... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mozart 6,577 Posted May 19, 2016 You finished before I started Don! Great build and a very realistic professional finish, well done. Your chipping technique is like applying Maskol, that's rubber based too and works effectively with, as you mentioned, lots of control about where and how heavily to apply it. Maskol's advantage is that it's a rather lurid pink so you can definitely see where you've put it! Max 1 MARU5137 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dmthamade 3,122 Posted May 19, 2016 Never tried the Maskol, did see it in the hobby shops. It being pink would really help. On this build i decanted some glue into a bottle and mixed some Tamiya black in, making it clearly visible. I did google "rubber cement mask" and it seems water color artists, armour and railroad hobbiest use it. Once again everyone EXPERIMENT with your favorite brand and base of paint BEFORE committing to your build!! I found Tamiya acrylic works ok, but Model Master Acryl was a bear to remove. Max, i might try the Maskol, if it is more consistent i may switch over. Thanks!! Don 1 MARU5137 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
