  • @stormycatmink
    @stormycatmink2 жыл бұрын

    I think the recent modeling world has kind of gotten confused about the purpose of primers and conflated them a bit with base coat paints. You can see this in the number of colors offered in acrylic 'primers'. Originally, the point of a primer was something that was designed to adhere very well to the base material (be it metal, plastic, resin, etc), and often relied on solvents and other etchants to make sure this was a good, strong, chemical bond. Also things like lead, if I recall, to help bond to metals. Modern ones don't have lead, of course, but the point is still the same, to make a strong bond to protect the underlying material and allow other paints to stick. However, acrylic primers (the ones most often advertised as airbrush primers) don't really do that. I've dug in a bit, and aside from a little bit of polyurethane to make it a bit more flexible, it's nothing more than just a good, opaque acrylic base coat. Now, that's not a bad thing, but it's not really a primer either. With modern plastics, it's been a fairly moot point, since they and acrylics are designed to adhere together well, so everything just works. However, I've seen a couple of very good painters on youtube get surprised and frustrated when painting something like a metal or resin model (Tau Manta?) and the paint kept peeling off. That's because of a poor primer adhesion, and likely not even using a real primer, but an acrylic. I won't get into the pros and cons for one paint to do both jobs, but I think the fact that they are two distinct jobs and you sometimes need one or the other, is important, and we shouldn't confuse the job of a primer with that of a base coat. If you dig into scale modelling, where they're more accustomed to random materials, you'll find a wealth of good information on primers and specifically some of the best to use. Invariably, they're all either lacquers or rattlecans, because they contain strong solvents. You can paint your plastic with them and it will never come off. It must be sanded off, because it becomes part of the plastic. Granted, that may be overkill for some things, but it does make a nice protective coating, and it ensures you don't have issues with resin mold release agents or other things. It can also allow you to do some interesting effects where you scratch through more delicate upper layers, because the primer won't let you just scratch through it with a fingernail or other plastic. Another fun trick is to do a black primer and white primer zenith highlight so you can strip the paint off and just go back to a proper primed, zenithal highlight. But there's other issues that might make that not work so well, too. Anyway, I'd love to see a prominent painter do a real deep dive into the chemistry of primer paints and why some are important and some are just base paints to help educate the miniature painting community. It's something lacking in the videos I see and not everyone has the time to go research other hobbies and ancient alchemy to learn how to properly get paint to stick to everything. Probably needs some attention on the different types of paint solvents, like lacquers/solvent vs oil (model enamels) vs acrylic and true watercolors, too. Then maybe even talk about additives like polyurethane and others! I don't hear much discussion about that in the miniature community either. PS: Your issue with the Humbrol varnish? Yeah, that's because it was probably a lacquer varnish. The best kind of protection for a miniature... but the oil probably bound to it making it a gunky black varnish of sorts. The solvent in oils can blend with the solvents in a varnish and then you just get a semi-permanent goo.

    @@rockstrongo831 You'll need to find a lacquer based primer. The easiest would be those in a rattle can, but for airbrushing you can actually spray a rattle can primer into a cup (through a straw or something so it doesn't evaporate), or you could add a lacquer thinner to a normal acrylic.Test it out first in a little cup to be sure it doesn't gum up when you mix them. Some will. Just a note, but a primer that gives a smooth or satin finish isn't doing you much good. The point is to not only adhere well, but also let other paints adhere to it. Paint doesn't stick well to smooth surfaces. Citadel rattle cans can dry smooth sometimes, which is annoying. Acrylic beads up on it. The best method is to just get an airbrush lacquer. Mr. Hobby Mr. Surfacer is a good one but might be hard to find. Tamiya's Liquid Primer might be a little easier to get hold of and works well too. For good rattle can primers, sandable automotive primers are good but sometimes go on a bit thick, so be careful. Mr. Hobby Mr. Surfacer or Tamiya Primers are both very good. However, lacquers are very dangerous to breathe in or get on your skin. It's not just about paint particles in your lungs, it's also very toxic. Make sure to have a mask and plenty of ventilation. Also, go very easy and light coats with it. It WILL dissolve plastic. You want just a thin layer to adhere and build it up slowly, letting each one dry (it dries in 30 seconds). It's a bit more work, but they're the gold standard in paints for a reason.

    Thank you for this post mate. While I'm recently new to the hobby; one thing I'm not new to is painting. So, as a result, I'm aware of how a good primer is supposed to work (And even slightly aware of some of the chemicals) but I'm *not* familiar with the primers associated with the hobby or what's in them. This post probably saved me a bit (or a lot) of frustration. I'll be buying a good Lacquer based primer from Wal-Mart tonight.

    the thing is - base paints, due to them being "dense" are somewhat more efficient. 12ml of Mephiston red was enough to paint a LOT of blood angels basecoats, while corresponding 18ml from Vallejo Model Color actually ran out more quickly. Qualitywise they are more or less on the same level but huge plus for VMC for... the darn bottles - citadel pots are terrible as a lot of paint gets wasted on the pot itself (dries out around this tipy thing from which You should get paint from).

    I got the lamp you linked in a previous video, it's great! But if you have too harsh a light, tape some parchment paper over the lamp. It's what we do in the photo/video industry when we don't have fancy softboxes.

    I have to say army painter air range is great for brush paint straight out the bottle and knowing how contrast 1.0 works I actually like using them over gw . I always cheer for the underdog and using a varnish to then layer isn't a big deal . This list is still super helpful and definitely helps a beginner like me to know how to make sense of such a busy market

    Nice stuff, I like the video, I need to try Da Vinci brushes, been Winsor & Newton for too long and they're becoming hard to get. Also on Scale 75 - my beef with those is the pigment separation in those, but I love the finish and never experienced any chalkiness. They are a tad more difficult to use due to the finish though. The super-matte finish looks great for the most part though.

    Showing a bit of my age here, but I'm used to varnishing after I finish painting, so the gloss/satin/matte finishes of the paint themselves was never an issue for me. If you didn't varnish, paint chipped quickly and easily. Yes, I'm used to painting on metal, not plastic. Getting back into painting after a 10 year hiatus.

I have issues and wondered if getting a more expensive airbrush and compressor will help. After what you said, maybe it's the user and not the tool. It will be easier and cheaper to change the user. Thanks!

    I'm just starting to get into miniature painting for board games and was wondering if you have any thoughts on using high-quality artist acrylics such as Daniel Smith or Winsor & Newton? I suspect that there would be more fiddling around with getting the right consistencies for various applications but I'm wondering if there might be problems with them adhering to a primer base or if would they just be useful for airbrushing as you discussed with the Golden Artist Colors? (I'm not too concerned with matte vs. semi-gloss, vs. glossy finishes as that can be compensated for.) (I'm asking because it would be more convenient for me to have just one set of acrylics for both art and miniatures.)

    Agree with most of your ratings. Only thing I would say is don't buy overpriced "hobby" ball bearings to use as paint shakers. Big problem is that with dropper bottles they tend to block the nozzle. I use marine grade stainless steel M5 nuts which you can get in bags of up to hundreds very cheaply. I drop one or two in every paint when I first use it (and mark the bottle to tell me there is a nut in there) and they work a treat. Also they don't block the nozzle 👍😁

    Army Painter I feel is mostly C tier, but all of their green paints belong in the depths of F tier! I've used craft paints with better coverage than Scaly Hide or Treant Green. Their washes are awesome though, definitely A tier for me, especially for the price.

Then again i spilled my nulns oil the other day so maybe i need a sippy cup for my washes afterall 😅 their paint is sadly poor quality, bought an orange from them, instantly regretted it, it looks like marmalade when it dries.

    The AP greens work great for me, I use them all the time for osl, flames, etc. Washes are great, as are most metallics and black & white. I don't like their blues and purples as much, I don't know what it is, but they always give me problems. Also, I love their skeleton bone color, but I get the impression that it dries significantly faster than other colors.
