I'm still alive lol. I kind of lost the will with my own channel, I've never been a prominent uploaded and as such faded intro irrelevance alongside more modern channels. If you still wanna see my hands working though look at the how to videos on airfix official UA-cam channel

Led lamps are much cheaper nowadays, with built in diffusers etc. The Benq is a really good lamp for on your desk but the price (at the time of this video anyway) was high. Shop around and find what works for you. Wall mounting is a great idea though, keep that bench space nice and open

@@ScaleModelMedic true. I’m still looking around. Currently renovating and building a computer/mini painting room. Having a space to constantly have projects on the go. Paints on the wall on shelves. Gonna be epic!

Thank you. Sadly I don't upload here these days, I don't have time. I still make videos but they are on a manufacturers channel. I'm glad these videos still find their way to people who get some use out of them though

Yes. To the absolute best of my knowledge it was the first ever free colour mod video on UA-cam 😎

"The youtube 10 minute limit" me: OMG how old is this! Great video!@@ScaleModelMedic

@@Hugh_Hunt yeah, it's THAT old! There were no full screen ads back then either just little boxes that popped up at the bottom of the video, remember that golden era

Back when I had a full head of hair! I miss independent YT.@@ScaleModelMedic

Hi, thank you for taking time to comment. The scenic glue is likely some derivative of pva, it dries matt so realistically either an acrylic matt varnish or a combo of matt varnish and pva would probably do the job just fine. Normal pva would probably get you by but you do run a low risk of getting some gloss finish where it builds up. I've used mig ammo matt acrylic varnish in the past with similar results, it won't take you long at all to find something that works for you and get the hang of it! Happy modelling

@@ScaleModelMedic awesome. Thanks for the quick reply.

Hi, sure! No problem. It is indeed just a household sponge but it's the paper that makes it work properly. It's baking parchment, not wax paper. It has to be the right paper as this is what permits the water to pass through one way only, replenishing the water in the paint but not letting the paint into the reservoir. I bought a big roll of it on amazon.

@@ScaleModelMedic Ahh yes....my mistake! Parchment paper indeed! Don't know what I was thinking when I said wax paper as no water will seep through that. Thanks again!

Thanks but no I'm an office boy 😂 that said, being from the black country i grew up in an area interspersed with Industrial sites so saw a lot through the years

Nope, it sure isn't. It was a fad a long time ago (which is when the video was uploaded, its ancient) , and if you Google you'll still find a bit of debate about blue tint in panzer grey. Back then when colour modulation was new we were all doing this kind of stuff.

Sure it will clean eventually with water if you don't let it dry but sooner or later you'll need to use something stronger for cleaning your airbrush. The same company selling this stuff do a cleaner which is really good

@@ScaleModelMedic yeah its just that its costs a fortune to get, if someones out of the uk...

Ahh OK sorry I didn't know where you were based. There are plenty of other things that will clean this as it's an acrylic. I have mainly moved over to using lacquer based stuff these days and lacquer thinner will get the residue out of a brush no problem whatsoever

The top coat is acrylic

Hi, there's a bit of chemistry involved here so I need to make sure I'm very specific. The rust colour can't be acrylic paint, it needs to be strong pigmented enamel hence why I use weathering powder in enamel varnish. This is what allows the rust colour to run when the thinner is added. Because this layer is sealed in really well by the varnish and I am using a manual chipping method I. E not chipping fluid, you could use a paintbrush to apply the second layer of colour yes. This actually NEEDS to be acrylic to prevent it interacting with the thinner that makes the rust colour run.

@@ScaleModelMedic Ok I think I have a grasp on the concept. I should’ve wrote what I asked a bit better as I I wanted to know if the paint on the second layer of colour could be acrylic. Which you’ve stated here that it has to be. Ok. I’m going to try this out when I get the stuff needed. I’m excited about trying out oils and pigments for weathering to add to general acrylic paint jobs.

I will always remain my own harshest critic! It drives me on

Yes, it won't catch the light like a gloss but it's definitely achievable. I saw a great work in progress pic by David Parker where he had done this using oils if I remember right and it's one of the finest examples of weathering I've ever seen.

It's really not bad for what it is, you have to pay a lot of money for a better kit this size. Are you going to have a go at painting it? If so then I hope you enjoy it as much as I did

@@ScaleModelMedic oh absolutely I'm not sure about a lite kit yet but I may even do that after seeing yours. But I have air brush so I'm going to give it a shot.
