Chipping And Scratching Effects For Model Builders

In this video I demonstrate a great technique to achieve chipping and scratching effects for model builders. I am using a product called chipping fluid from Ammo by MIG to achieve some beautiful weathered effects.

Thanks for a great video, I’m doing some chipping effects to weather the roof of a locomotive using the mig product. I’ve never used it before so it’s great to see you do this demonstration.
In the research I’ve done so far I think the best results are by using an enamel top layer but acrylics work as well.
Keep up the great work 😉

Awesome! I’m not looking to paint trains but this video is perfect for what I was searching for! Thanks a million!

[JCsRiptrack]

Great stuff Ron, and timely. This is one of the other subtractive techniques for chipping/weathering that I like to use. The scratches effect is definitely a good choice for N scale. :)

[garylaker]

Thanks Ron for taking the time to re do this, much appreciated. A weathering technique I was previously unaware of ! 👍

[wilzdart]

I would like to thank you for redoing the subject matter. I did watch the live show and sometimes things just do not work out. After this one I went and bought the scratch media from amazon and just got it yesterday. Great stuff u put out.

Ron, So good that you decided to re- do the video from a few day's ago.For my own older style weathering effects I over spray with Testers Matt Varnish, from the spray can. You might need to Over Spray these new effects, also.Cheers, Chris Perry.

This is a great demo of what looks to be a very good product. As you said, it looks as if this would work really good on N or HO scale. I myself model in O scale. I’m curious though, have you ever herd of or tried the “salt weathering effect”? Basically what you do is paint the structure or whatever you want weathered with the rust color first, I usually use the various Rustolum rust colors in a spray can, let dry well (overnight at least), spray on regular water with a spray bottle getting the piece really wet. Next sprinkle on some sea salt. The salt will stick to the piece because of the water. I usually use a course sea salt. Once that dries spray on your top coat or whatever color you wish the structure to be. Let dry throughly (again overnight at least). Next just remove the sea salt. I usually just pick it off by hand wearing gloves. The effect is really striking and looks great. There’s a really great video on this process on Ericstrains YouTube channel from a few years ago. He used it on a custom built metal bridge. I myself have done this on smaller plastic bridges and various rolling stock. Looks great and is less involved. I really do like this demo you did and am going to give this product a try Thanks.

Ron, this was a very interesting demo. I'm very impressed by the ease of using the product. The results are worth the time, effort and money spent for a better looking more realistic apperance. I have only used their meatl finishes and they are awesome. With the Chipping and Scratching you don't have to apply so many different paints and methods to achieve the look you want. This just seems to make it easier and appear to be more authentic. Great viddeo Ron and thanks for sharing and the demo

Great product, thanks for making this content all over again! Its definitely something to have in the tool box!

[TouchoftheBrushModelWeathering]

Awesome video Ron. I will be using this technique on some hoppers for a client. Keep it up bud!- Joey

[LFdozer]

Nice idea on this product thanks for the intro to it I had used hair spray for years and had to so careful to not overdo the scaping or chipping

[munchkinmodelingmanGAM]

Thank you for the tutorial, papadansmodels2 sent me this way to watch your video....enjoyed it .

[changchienchi]

Thanks for sharing the information.
After using airbrush to spray mig-2010 chipping fluid, what cleaner do you use the airbrush? Do you use water? Thanks

[jerrysmith]

Wasn't familiar with these products. Thanks for the tip.

[trainpixsnet]

Ron, thanks for sharing this product and technique. That will be very useful for my equipment and buildings.

Oh, btw see you next weekend during the opp session weekend. Looks like we'll be running the same layouts on Friday and Saturday afternoon. If possible bring the example from this video, would like to see the outcome with my own eyes.

[thomascatalano]

thanks for sharing a demo of these products. One thing I missed was which paint type you used for the base coat and top coat. Were they enamels? I imagine that the method wouldn't work with water clean up acrylics. thanks!

[joec.]

Ron, just started watching... Love the videos and how too's!!! Thanks for redoing the Chipping and Scratching video it was very difficult to decipher a lot of it. Two questions, Any issue with clean up of your Air Brush after using these products? Could you give me a recommendation on paints for airbrushing and hand brushing? Just getting back into the hobby and things have changed a lot.

[markjohnson]

Thanks for the review. Those looked good. What about the special technique?

[brownie]

Just curious do you have to seal it with something after your done? If the paint scratches that easy it looks like it would come off during handling a boxcar, or something like that that would be handled a lot.

[stewarttrains]

How does dullcoat effect this when you go to seal the work?
