I told the wife months ago that i use make models as a kid. Built the last one about age 12. Im in my 50s now and she has bought me a model for christmas to make. Thanks for making me look like the pro i never was.

I'm actually here for painting Gunpla because I can't afford airbrush, and i have to say this Guide is extremely helpful even if the contents we're doing is different. Great job dude.

Yeah same I’m just getting into scale models and don’t want to put a bunch of money into an airbrush

This is a spectacular tutorial; I feel much more confident in going into this project I've decided to take on. Thank you :)

You have such a distinctly polite and helpful demeanor sir. A gentleman and a scholar.

Great video! Quick, informative and to the point. Exactly what i was looking for!

It is great to see that even a beginner can have great results by painting a model. What i mean is without airbrush technic. Very nice video,s,thanks.

These videos are so good, im just starting to do my first airfix's after theyve been sat in a draw for 3 years and this helps so much, I still need lots of practice but this answered allot of questions!

I just strarted my first scale model and this helped me so much with the painting part !

thanks. this is the best video i've found to help me get started with brush painting model kits.

Very interesting , I'm new to alll this and the use larger brushes for flat areas never occurred to me . Cheers .

of all of the videos I've seen on hand painting, yours felt like the most practical one I've ever seen. Thank you so much!

Finally found a video that gives straight forward info with no fancy jargon. Easy to understand. 😄

Been building scale models for YEARS and never knew some of these steps! Cheers!!

Thanks! This is very clear and straightforward.

This is actually very informative and I appreciate it very much :)

Excellent description, well thought out and clearly presented. Thanks!

Thanks! This video helped a lot and I would recommend it to anyone who is starting and learning Scale Modelling. Keep up the good work!

Thanks for sharing, it truly helps me to get the max out of brush paint jobs. While I already have an airbrush, there are situations when the brush is still the best tool. Tips like stabilizing your favorite hand by using the palm of your free hand are really improving my skills. Great video!

Good reference guide for pretty much anyone. Thank you

No wonder, I've been doing it wrong since i started. Thank you for the useful tips.

I'd like to apologise for the voice over quality (I don't think I positioned the microphone very well) and also I'd like to make a correction: at 2:29 I'd like to say that it is entirely possible to get great results with acrylics, equal to the finish of enamels, if applied in the correct way. Otherwise, I hope you enjoy the video and find it helpful! :)

Me too! I made loads of kits as a child. Those that I painted were never done right, because I didn't understand or learn about painting techniques, and was always in a rush to finish the job. I have a couple of kits to make now and will aim to do a better job, with the help of the "youtube library".

Awesome tips! Great little tutorial, thank you.

Excellent. Clear and informative. Well scripted, filmed and edited. Every KZread "How To" video should be as straightforward as this one. Thank you :)

very useful tutorial, thank you (: Will use these tips for my gunpla :D

Thanks for this, Owen. The one thing I was missing in terms of brush painting was the correct brush selection. I'm anxious to try your techniques on a couple of WIP aircraft. I think my biggest challenge will be mottled cam patterns (e.g. Luftwaffe), but we shall see how those go.

Great video. Extremely helpful. Thanks for taking the time to make it.

I'm here for painting my own small sculptures and this is the most helpful video I've found. So much good information in one video, not too long, not too short, and also kinda makes me wanna try model making haha

Thanks a lot! I just managed to ruin my first large surface painting and now I know what I did wrong and what to avoid in the future!

I haven’t been doing this hobby for too long and I only use acrylic hobby paint, but in my experience the thing about the brushes is wrong. From the little experience that I have I’d tell you that stiffer brushes (the ones recommended in the video) are definitely better for applying fine details, but to cover large surfaces it’s way better to use the more loose brushes. I realized this because when I started I used only the looser brushes, but then I got a pair of stiffer ones as part of a gift. After using both types both ways I’m confident enough in making this statement.

Thank you! I learned from watching your video that I've been painting my airplane models the wrong way! Thank you for teaching me (and others) the right way to use enamel paints.

I feel like i just learned a lifetime of expertise in 5 minutes. THANK YOU

I hope you continue the channel but also wish you well in your (NON YT) career!

I wanted this channel to condense it all into one space where it's accessible to everyone. So thank you for your comment and good wishes, I really appreciate it :)

Wow, I've learned so much on this short video. I've been looking for this kind of video since I am a newbie in Gunpla painting. I've realized now why I have difficulty in removing the brush strokes in painting myfirst kit ;D I would like to know if I can use enamel thinner in acrylic paint and primer used in enamel. Thank you so much. Thumbs Up!!!

Darcy The Great. Fajardo i just got into customizing gunpla myself. Sooooo many gunpla videos assume you're already a pro and give you attitude if you don't have an airbrush. I have found other modeling communities far, far more helpful and welcoming to noobs. It's as if gunpla builders don't want to admit that they are dorks. We paint toy robots for fun. We're dorks, bro.

Fantastic, seen a few peeps on the tube, researching while awaiting my first model in about 40 years and your vids are THE best

Wow. Literally answered 90% of the questions I was about to research in one video. Thanks!

BEEN MODELING MANY YEARS & Folks while you CAN make a model look nicer with an airbrush it IS outrageously more expensive in quite a few ways. The initial cost & time. So the expense of buying it, then all the products replacement parts, extra nozzles, needles and rare occasional gaskets. The Gun & Compressors. Paints & extra solvents.Vented fan spray booths& filters.The clean up time , set up time more area needed. Relatives that still complain of the smells. THE NEED TO STILL OWN BRUSHES! Listen I am probably STILL forgetting some things but you got the picture. I bought all that CRAP over the years. Now I am wanting to learn this technique for GOOD REASON! SO TAKE MY ADVISE,PLEASE! So your 1st few models may look like crap so what it takes time. Stick with it. Buy cheepies till they come out alright. Watch a ton of videos . that saves so much time and money. Then when you are happy with the results. BUY THE BEST FITTING MODELS YOU CAN FIND! IT WILL SAVE A TON OF TIME ON PUTTY SEAM GAP FILLING. Not necessarily the most expensive just research the best fitting model. I like excellent outside detail but I do not need the most accurate model with excessive fine parts. just the basics with a very nice fit as seamless as possible. Hope my advise helps some one. Keep on building and most of all HAVE FUN.

Thanks mate, this is exactly what I needed. I am building my first model, a Revell 1:48 Huey Hog, but I hadn't had the nerve to start the paiting - simply because I knew I would fuck it up. I will still maybe fuck it up, but not that much.

I'm brand new to model making, and this video was a HUGE help! thank you!

Thank you for this. I learned a few things that will help me in general painting.

Are you still alive

here a tip, get a cheap coffee mixer to mix the paints. It works wonders

Excellent video. Thanks for explaining in such an easy way.

I am semi experienced. I've done most of my models as a kid, and until recently where I have managed to get proper paints and equipment, just slapping on similar paints and drybrushing here and there. And so far after some rough patches I'm starting to improve my quality. Despite that I still come to some of these "beginner" videos because I aim to do things with brushes, powders and washes, because I can't really afford an airbrush at the moment and have nowhere to do it. And it's a great place to pick up tips and tricks. Therefore I have to say, aside from you advice and tips about which make and makeup of the brush (Which I will have to look into as some of my brushes are a bit lacking for what I want to do) I do have to point out 2 things you do in this video that beginners should not do. 1 - DO NOT put your brush so far into the paint that it goes right up to the metal bit/ place where it joins the handle. This is one of the quickest ways to destroy a brush, because the paint gets into the place where the hairs are, and is extremely hard to wash out and it then dries and ruins the shape of the brush. (You should try and keep all your paint in the bottom half of the brush towards the tip, as this is where most of the "Work" on the brush is done) I know that you're buying cheap brushes, but with proper care cheap brushes can last a long time, and some people might not have £20 to spend on replacing all their brushes every 2 months, I know I certainly don't. 2 - DO NOT leave your brushes tip up after washing them, leave them tip down. This is for reasons similar to the first point. Some brushes have wooden handles, some have plastic, you could probably find glass handled brushes if you looked hard enough, but what they all have under the ferrule (metal bit) is the place that holds the bristles in. This might be glue, it might just be wedged, but it is still the same. The water underneath that ferrule doesn't dry quickly, and it can rot wooden handles leading to the brush falling apart, and in most cases with cheap brushes it will start to slowly degrade the glue keeping the bristles there, and it will quickly fall apart on you. This is from my personal experience with my brushes, and also from when I was searching around for brush maintenance and what types of brushes to use, and in addition to my experience it is a general consensus in the places I've seen. I used to leave my brushes flat because it was easier, but I recently had a brush cleaning session where I put some restorer/wax on them so I could store them. It's startling the amount of water you see on the brush plastic covers that comes out when you dry them tip down compared to flat or tip up, which means all this water was previously being drawn/drained/sucked into the part of your brush where the bristles are anchored. Needless to say from that point I am endeavouring to put my brushes tip down until they are bone dry. If they are bone dry store them however you want, although I would advise against resting them on the brush itself, as that is another way to a shagged brush. sorry for the wall, but I felt i needed to explain it all instead of just shouting two things seemingly with no reason.

@andreaslorrain7573

2 жыл бұрын

I was looking through the comments to see if somebody had already pointed it out. It's indeed a no-go to dry your brushes upright. Not only for the reasons you mentioned but also because the water build-up will expand the bristles into the handle which will cause the brush to lose its shape. Simply making a small construction with blue-tack or some clips/clothespins to dry your brushes can save you a lot of money!

Has no one in these comments ever been taught ratio's in school? It's 2017 mate, how do you people not know this.

Ratios can be difficult for people to understand for many reasons. If you understand them, please engage and attempt an explanation. You may find that the way you understand them helps somebody else. That would be awesome.

0:25 Acrylic paints and natural hair go together very well. Kolinsky sable or Siberian weasel bristles are AMAZING with acrylics, so please don't misinform people. Many painters use them, especially for painting minifigures. One of the best is Winsor and Newton series 7. If you will take care of your brushes, they will last for a long time.

I am a bit confused on mixing to consistency of milk. Water droppers surely help, but how many drops would I need to add if I want to mix well?

@thatpolishhotdog

7 жыл бұрын

He says 7 parts paint to 1 part thinner. This is because he uses a little dropper that measures by "parts". For example, if you have a 14 mL Humbrol enamel paint can, then you can put in 2 mL of paint thinner and you will get roughly the consistency of milk. TA-DA! On that note, I also recommend using Humbrol brushes. I have a couple from starter kits and they are surprisingly REALLY good. They are soft and work very well with enamel paint.

@Name-ps9fx

Using drops isn’t as accurate as a gradated syringe, but as long as you’re careful to make the same size drops, you just count: A mix of 1:4 means you put 1 drop of thinner in something (I use plastic spoons), and then you put 4 drops of the paint in. Mix with a toothpick and you’re good to go.

Such great tips wish I knew this back on the day. I have made 40+ models with big slabs of brush stroke ridden acrylic paint :)
