I freakin love this video! I am currently on my first build since i was a kid and I am now 45. I am taking my time to build the Revell 1:48 Top Gun Maverick F-14 and all I got is RAISED lines. I was able to take the landing bay doors that have a ton of raised detail on them [edit:(hoses, clamps and other unknown metal items)] and after watching this I went back to them and "improvised" with techniques that YOU showed me and I am so proud of myself that I was able to put into play something I had just learned. Thank you for your work and I look forward to all your other videos!

Thanks for the comment Mathew mate. I am really glad that my video helped. Hope the F 14 turned out fine.

Love this video! What an artist you are. You sound so humble too. So much so that I am now a subscriber! Looking forward to reviewing your other videos and learning much before I start my next project. I’m just getting back into the hobby after many years away so finding wonder in the builders, constructors and artists who now populate this hobby. What a great time to get back!

Alternatively and far easier way would be to drybrush the raised details until details were crisp and clear, then just shoot a coat of matte clear over it to lock it in. Good video and nice idea, always good to know multiple ways to achieve something.

Hello! Thank you for this video! So much to learn to really build a model properly. Do you have to split between enamels and acrylics as you did? Will all acrylic paints not work?

@ScaleModellingVideos

3 жыл бұрын

It might work if you have a large item with large raised detail. You can try with all acrylics but you would have to gloss coat your part after each paint colour, which will increase the thickness of the total coat of paint, making it difficult to paint smaller details. In theory it might work, I dont know if it will actually work. Use an enamel or non acrylic gloss goat though to ensure that when you clean your paint spills with thinner you do not eat through your gloss coat. Hope that helps.

Thank you for an excellent tutorial. I assume one can paint instrument panel dials and faces using this technique?

@ScaleModellingVideos

3 жыл бұрын

I havent tried it on an instrument panel. They are much smaller, that does change the dynamic as its harder to get into the gaps or raised detail. It might work.

I just did that same Skyline kit and had a hell of a hard time with that valve cover. Those little areas between the sparkplugs don't hold the color as well as you'd think, but I did mine in red.

You can wait for the thinned overcoat to dry and then reapply additional overcoats. Eventually you will build up to an opaque paint coat. Also you may be thinning the overcoat a bit too much.

i guess thats one way to skin a cat, although still seems more work and a worse/rough result than spraying a light silver laquer base and then spraying a enamel gray. and uing a qtip in lighter fluid to rub away the gray from raised areas. that way is still better in my opinion as not hand painting which leaves uneven finish. but if not airbrusing, i guess thats a way to go.

@ScaleModellingVideos

3 жыл бұрын

Yeah but that way the edges of the raised part are still not painted the right color. Because the q tip will only take paint off the top not the edge. I do agree that the finish would be better. Thanks for the comment.

Enamel base the piece in gray...once cured then apply silver acrylic craft paint over the raised sections...then using a wet and a dry tooth pick you can rub out any excess...once dry you can pledge over it to protect it from chipping you can also add pledge to the craft paint as it self levels as they are both acrylic.

You can also lay down the silver over the whole thing you have the lettering to be in acrylic then paint the grey over the top of that with enamel then dampen the cotton bud with thinner and rub over the raised detail lettering and the acrylic will show through perfectly without the need for used washes that leave tide marks

I twist a paper towel into a blunt "stub" and moisten it with thinner. The flatter the stub, the better. Lightly brush across the raised detail several times without much pressure (to avoid taking off the underlying acrylic).

It should work too, as long as it maintains some consistency when thinned.

great approach, thanks for sharing. One question, at the beginning you comment that the enamel was to cover all the parts. So did you paint the whole part first, then the detail, followed by the wash. or as the part bare when you started?

Not all acrylics are the same. For example, Tamiya, AK, and Vallejo acrylics are all different. Stick with the recommended thinners for each.

so whatever type of paint used to do the raised parts wash with the same type thinner or opposite type?

Detailing seems to be in the eye of the beholder, I know your a great model master, I just didn't see a difference in the part you were trying to highlight. Maybe my screen is too small or the part was to small. Filming through a lighted hobby magnifying glass might have brought it out more clearly. I'll stick with my current technique for now and catch you on the next one.
