Durangokid Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 I just love the painting and weathering. How are you replicating the chipping? It looks perfect. I try to do the chipping but usually end up overdoing it. It's probably because I'm not using acrylic paints or too much chipping fluid. Are you using acrylic paints or doing another chipping method? Sorry if you already explained this. Bryan Jan_G 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do you achieve such a convincing chipping effect? Chipping fluid? Cheers, Roger On 1/19/2019 at 6:46 PM, Durangokid said: I just love the painting and weathering.

Are you using acrylic paints or doing another chipping method? Sorry if you already explained this. Bryan Thanks guys for your kind words! really appreciate it! I will try to answer Roger and Bryan's question regarding chipping. I was working with AMMO chipping fluids with MRP and Mr. Color paints but used to have same issues with it as Bryan describes above. Thin layer doesn't work and thick layer of the fluid turned into small drops which when scratched down with brush or toothpick left rounded scratches. I will try hair spray method in future but these days I prefer to work as efficient as I can. That's why I use maskol (Mr. Masking Sol Neo specifically). Issue is that you don't have enough control over the size of scratches,but on the other hand you can mask many parts and let dry the paint on it overnight and you don't have to work fast as with the chipping fluids. I think that the key is to apply realli tine amount of the maskol. Here is simple instruction how I did scratches on engine nacelles. MRP black surfacer MRP Duralaluminium applied Masking sol applied with small pieces of sponge paint (Mr. Hobby C55) applied shading with lighter shade of base paint masking sol scratched down with toothpick and cleaned with tack-it adhesive (the best stuff to remove maskol) final layer of gloss varnish, MIG dark wash applied and finished with MRP semimatt finished HTH jan Edited January 23, 2019 by Jan_G Fanes, scvrobeson, Seversky and 19 others 17 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Durangokid Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 I've never thought of using a sponge piece with masking liquid, what a great idea!. I'm going to give that a try next time I need to chip something. Big thanks for the tutorial! Bryan Jan_G 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reuben L. Hernandez Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Excellent build so far looks fantastic!

Jan_G Posted January 26, 2019 Author Share Posted January 26, 2019 (edited) small progress on Toryu looks like I did something wrong when gluing fuselage hlaves together because instrument panel cover will need to sand a little first thing that I really don't like on this kit is the fuselage upper part. I was trying to find out why guys at ZM decided to mold small windows as individual inserts instead of make the whole part out of clear plastic, especially with so many useless clear parts some parts already painted with Kawasaki Dark green (Mr. Color C130) Thanks for looking jan Edited January 26, 2019 by Jan_G 109, MikeMaben, scvrobeson and 8 others 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jan_G Posted January 27, 2019 Author Share Posted January 27, 2019 some progress on Toryu what I really like that landing gear consist out of few parts only, which helps to keep geometry and add strength to it and fit of it is great I wasn't sure about the color because most of good pics of landing gear shows that it was in bare metal instead of khaki as stated in instructions but based on this pic which depicts this specific airframe I'm almost sure that it was left unpainted engine nacelles and the seat thanks for looking jan Alburymodeler, Trak-Tor, Pfuf and 8 others 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
