Paint Chipping with Soap: A Quick and Easy Trick

[Stuka]

Hey Guys,

 

I just completed the Tamiya P-38 and used soap chipping on high wear areas and the prop; worked pretty well.

Here's a link to the article:

Thanks!

interesting approach

 

if one is looking for the very fine and very varied chips that i see with traditional hairspray technique, i don't think this gets you there as the results - especially on the prop blades - look somewhat crude and the P-38 looks rather 'blobby'

 

but this is still another string to one's bow as it were, and no doubt has its place when HST is not appropriate 

 

thanks for posting and if you can get the Infinity to perform, then you are without doubt, a cut above where I am lol (used mine a handful of times, promptly sold it and went back to my trusty H&S Evolution)

 

have a good weekend
