I’ve used the Mica Red, but what I did after primer is add a layer of Tamiya Gold, it warms the red up. Using silver would “cool” the red somewhat.

Wow just beautiful, really love the king hauler . I'll be watching for more. Outstanding work in my book .

Excellent video! Final product looked really good. Like you mentioned - little details make all the difference.

Bob you are a master painter I’ve watched so many of your videos I just love it. Now I’m just an old school to me a guys matter fact my first RC car was it to me and I just love it they do so well and thank you so much for these videos

Great video. I appreciate all the painting tips and what paint to really go with. I'm getting ready to paint a few models. Good job on all these.

Thanks for your video im building a King hauler soon cheers from Australia

Fantastic job, Bob! Every time I watch one of your videos, I learn little tip/tricks that I can use to make future builds really pop.

very special congratulations

Beautiful work, Bob!! 💯👋👋👋👋👋👋 I always appreciate the level of Detail that few of us bother with. The Panel line trim... I'm certain, stands out in person. I just got some Molotow Chrome Paint Pens, I'll be trying it on things like the Door Pulls and Sleeper Latches. I tried something.... The Ruf Lights, I actually sanded the mold seams and Sprue nubs smooth. Then I went over it with the Molotow Pen... It blends nearly perfectly!! It actually looks like CHROME! 👍👍😎

If you want to hide the marks in the chrome from clipping them off the sprue just give them a dab with a silver paint pen. It's almost, but not quite, chrome. It does hide the small sprue marks very well though.

Have you ever tried Molotow Chrome pens? They are fantastic! Best chrome you can get out of a pen, and they come in 1mm, 2mm and 4mm tips. if you haven’t tried them, get a 1 and 2mm tip. When you touch up clipped parts, you can’t see where you clipped. They are also great for window trim and even chrome accents on wheels, etc.

Very well explained how to lace Thank you very much for this video you have helped me a lot please open branches how you lace and what changes over time. How did you build the exhaust air box that is super? Greetings from Germany

I scraped the chrome off on the air cleaners with an exacto knife. But I had a King Hauler, Black, so the black plastic look good raw.

Is there a type of tape I can use to use a guide so I can just paint whatever I need to do without messing up the ready of my paint job? Because I do not have the steady easy hand for free painting.

Does polishing and waxing make the truck feel smooth to the touch? I just primed mine and it feels rough.

the COPIC Multiliner Pen you used What was the colour and size i am building a Mercedes Benz Actos 1561 my first Tamiya and learning a lot Thanks

Super video. I have used Tamiya fine spray primer and Tamiya TS color spray paints on scale models, and I tend to end up with some "grain" in the finish -- not a glassy smoot finish. Does the Tamiya clear help to "level" the finish ? I noticed in the video you didn't do any wet sanding of the primer coat before color. Or do you rely completely on the polishing to smooth the finish ?

@HobbyconceptsLLC

3 жыл бұрын

Usually I only work on the finished paint but sometimes I do wet sand the primer with 2000grit. Depends on how smooth it goes on.

What if you did the clear coat after detailing. That would save the ink/paint of the details right.

Hi Bob. I have finally received my 770S 6x4 kit and have primed and painted all the TS-58 parts.

Hi Bob, thanks for another excellent video. I’ve just painted my Globe Liner body, but have not yet painted the clear coat. Question: Do you polish and then do clear coat? Or do you paint clear coat over paint and then polish? Thanks

@HobbyconceptsLLC

3 жыл бұрын

Usually I try not to but you sure can.

@hobbycow5346

Жыл бұрын

My experience is not to polish before the clearcoat for these reasons: 1) The polish introduces chemicals that that might cause issues with the clearcoat, like adhesion problems and fish-eyes. 2) Polishing can make the surface too slick for clearcoat to grab. Best thing to do is lightly wetsand with 2000 grit or even 3000 grit to knock off any nibs or trash in the paint job, then clearcoat, and do all your polishing at the end. If painting metallics, avoid wetsanding before clearcoat. Sanding directly on metallics can change the tone and color.

Does the Super Clean remove spray paint as well, like if I’m bored my hauler paint job and soaked it will it go to bare plastic like the chrome bits? Love the videos keep them coming

You need to remove the chrome before painting. Soak them overnight in Super Clean. You can get it at Walmart - comes in a purple bottle. This removes the chrome so paint sticks.

Generally not. If I go through the work to paint a cab I usually sell it on a complete truck.

I just found your channel.... AMAZING work!! I bought a Heng Tiger Tank and am just getting into these models.. Do you ever make purposely-designed mundane and ordinary super realistic trucks? In other words, your trucks are so good... they look like they belong on a lot for sale. Brand new. I'd like a model that's more like an everyday, nothing special, very well worn truck. I'd like it to have subtle dents and dings, ugly DOT stickers, grime and caked road sludge in the tires and wheel wells, and a few spots of sloppy graffiti, maybe a busted tail light, no fancy rims... like a truck that a company or driver would have with no concern for anything but bare necessity--nothing there to 'look cool' or nice. Just an everyday worn cargo truck. Not even noticeably worn, either. Subtle. Just worn so it looks like 99% of the trucks that I see pass on the highway. I mean, I hardly ever see a shiny new-looking specimen. They're almost always grimy and well used. I'm sure you can do this. And you'd do it wonderfully. But is that something someone could request custom for you to do? Or do you prefer to stick within a range of design styles, like the trucks in this video? As for the base model of truck... the ones here are fine. I'd just want one very well worn and looking like it's been on the road for the last 20 years, as opposed to showroom new.

I like to buy the truck.
