Realistic Weathered Metallic Spaceship [Wax Metallic - Transfers - Oil Paint Staining]

Ойындар

Painting my "Lander No.2", a spaceship I will use as terrain for the table top skirmish game Stargrave, I decided to try out the True Metal paints from AK Interactive - wax based metallic paints. I thus ventured down a long winding path, dusted in varnish, covered in transfers and stained with oil paint.

    The existence of metallic wax paints insinuates the existence of metallic bees, right? And I had to remind myself the entire time that the ship wasn't made of metal and didn't weigh a ton (which would imply that you were a strongman by the way you handled it). Overall, for modelers, this video was high-octane action full of eureka moments that kept me at the edge of my seat the entire time.

    A dusting tip from a tank modeller: You can mix dry pigments with white spirit and slap it on heavily. When it dries it will not bind the pigments to the surface so you can wipe them off with a cloth/brush/finger etc. leaving a very realistic and subtle dust effect. Its much more precise and natural than just stabbing on pigments with a brush.

    The AK wax Gold is really nice, it covers well, has a very smooth flake-free finish and a very natural gold colour. And you don't have to worry about it drying out or getting lumpy or needing mixing etc. I'm not sold on the "polishing" process either, but it looks very nice straight off the brush.

    Very nice, to see your process... and fails! This helps, an makes someone feel less bad about own "mistakes". Im rgards of the model... it got a long way... but I believe it is missing some light. There are no highlights except the yelllow strips. I would give it some signal lights, some energy glowing pipes or something to bring it alive. However, keep it up, you're bringing something different to this community!

    Love the video. I use their wax metals a lot. I find they're great on large, flat, rounded surfaces (especially for polishing). I imagine the striated, filament print surfaces would be less than ideal for them. That said, it's so awesome seeing a modeler experiment and learn in real time. I like that you share the successes and the failures with your audience. Makes for a super authentic experience. Great stuff!

If I had to be finicky and point something out though : As it is some parts still look like hard blocks of metal. Some detailing with a brass or copper touch on the details inside the engine or on the little nubs on the landing pads probably could've lessen this effect :)

    WAX METALLIC STEEL, Try (slightly wet) dry brushing it on black primed mechanical limb or weapon, artillery piece or a walker leg. The result are stunning. Also on terrain piece like a greenskin rusty wall or metal junk yard. Also if you apply rust to the black base coat like you would apply edge highlight and shadow prior to drybrush the wax steel… it makes everything very fast for the very high quality result ..

    Most probably. I mean, I've never used (or heard of before) the product. But it's come up a few times in the comments. It sounds like a very similar type of product.

    Instead of undercoating yellow with pure white, mix white in with the yellow for the first coat. The white will add opacity but your second, pure yellow, coat won't have the come all the way from pure white.

    Always great videos, thoroughly enjoy. Love the experimentation part of your process. One thing I do with transfers is apply after I do my base coat, seal with a Lamia Medium and then cover it all with the gloss varnish. Then I do my oil washes and weathering on top. I find it unifies everything, like a factory-built vehicle with the markings has worn down. Worked really well on my Knights, and now my Guard motor pool gets the same treatment.

Here are a few tips I have for these paints: Using a gloss base coat with these will always help with the application and finish of it. This paint is incredible through an airbrush and really pop. For all over applications this is the way to go.

    Great result! I hope you will share some of your crew's exploits in future videos. 🚀 Not sure if you've come across this, but FDM prints are not generally water tight, and sometimes that affects how paint behaves. There are primers available that help to fill these micro-gaps, and make the surface more consistent. Automotive filler-primer is the non-hobby version.

    I really like this video. I like this video probably more than any other hobby related video I've seen so far. You're sense of adventure and willingness to try new and interesting things is inspirational. I watch many of your videos and look at a lot of your Instagram posts and think to myself, "Wow. This person has so much talent and their work is incredible," and I'm reminded that many of the things I see here are your very first experiences with these techniques and materials. It reminds me that there is no reason that I cannot also produce such marvelous artwork and that the best way for me to improve in this hobby is to simply do something I think would be neat. Even if I mess up, or it doesn't work, it doesn't really matter, because each of those things is experience gained. I improve. After all, as you have said before, why choose a time consuming hobby if not to spend gratuitous mounts of time, well, engaging in the hobby? Which is, to my understanding, the entire point of your channel. It is nothing short of inspirational and more importantly, very encouraging. I would say your goal to show me something I didn't know I wanted to see or NEEDED to see is accomplished and rather elegantly at that. Thank you, truly.

    Well thank you 🙏I appreciate this immensely. I think in a way, sometimes we as viewers put to much weight into video subject and result. Forgetting who is creating the video. Technically being able to speedpaint 400 goblins is maybe not essential, but being inspired to paint anything is - and that inspiration, at least to me, is not topic specific. I’ve always been hoping to just inspire people to keep painting, to stay in the hobby. I honestly don’t take my specific topics very seriously. I keep working on my hobby and hope that sharing that journey is enough :)

    I like to use these metal waxes with drybrushing metallic parts even for smaller minis. I use a lot of enamels and oils and wax paint basically blends with those too. So in this case it has a much smoother and not as dirty result as normal acrylic would.
