Warhammer 40,000 part 2: chipping and rust

Sorry guys - I just made the switch from one video edit package to another so the sound levels are wrong and I somehow lost the backing music.

The start of the 40k weathering process, using washes to achieve some rust streaks and some pigments to get some rust effects going on.

Quite a persuasive argument towards the use of acrylics for weathering - with convincing results. Outstanding.

@TheSunsAnvil good to see people sharing their experience !

Great vid. Very nice looking tank! I build mainly cars, but did get a tank just to try my hand at it. Thanks for your videos, I enjoyed all i have seen.

@TheSunsAnvil

they are from the Model AIR range - they don't need thinning at all, they go straight into the airbrush

[ScaleModelMedic]

@svinehunden I use Vallejo Air for brushing. It's like pre-thinned versions of the other paints. I even use it for figures.

I try and stay away from Tamiyas now, they are temperemental !! Some times they work well, others they don't.

Its really nice done and I'm looking forward to see the next one! :D
Thanks for making it and giving the tips! :)

Greetings,

hello, awesome video I am happy to subscribe, your vids will help me take my painting to the next level... awesome demonstration of chipping effects, now maybe I can start adding that to my tanks

For some washes, I use thinned Acrylic and add a drop of micro sol decal fluid to really kill the surface tension.

Fantastic video, I'm thinking of starting a traitor guard army so I'll need rust galore.

great weathering job! i my opinion it is perfect :)

[ScaleModelMedic]

@svinehunden hey K man, it's CAPILLARY ACTION. Basically it is that effect when you put a wash on and it kind of creeps along. It's also the same effect that pulls glue along part joins.

hahaha, I am from the Black Country, near Dudley. My accent is much stronger than in the voice-overs, I put on my "phone voice" as best I can to try and keep it understandable for all the guys overseas.

@TheNocturnalStudios

Yeah I just masked it off and sprayed it with a quick coat - it'll get covered with mud anyway

[Kammmm]

@ScaleModelMedic How long would you leave the gloss and matt varnish for to dry?

[paintpitproduction]

I'd love to see part3 and you finishing the model! Great vids tho...

[Jedijim]

That was a fantastic tutorial...thanks for sharing your experience and that great model...I really appreciate your effort in posting them up...Are the varnishes pre-mixed for the air brush? I have no experience with the air bursh, but have a very basic one to try and see how much trouble I can get into :)...these kind of vids inspire folks to try something differnet and unfamiliar...please keep posting...thanks...Jim.

[cryvengeance]

[tordenskrald]
