if you want to do lesser chipping, id recommend you dont soak it in water, let the paint dry then use a wet paint brush and gently stroke the surface until the paint comes off, dont attack it like in this video

Great tutorial. I really like the Vallejo chipping medium, but I haven't tried the AK heavy chipping yet. I think I'll give that a go on my next big terrain piece. Thanks for sharing!

The heavy side would make a good effect for paint lifted up from rust under it.

Actual demonstration at 2:15.
Useful video to understand how that works!

Hi many thanks very helpful tutorial....one question for you. If you wanted to have a rust affects on ..say a black model.would you first paint the brown rust.wait for it to dry..then add after it has dried chipp away then paint over it again in rust.

Hi did you thin chipping medium? And what pressure did you apply. Thanks

[KerleyExpress]

thank you for the video but can you add more chipping if you think you need more chipping looks on your model

[carlmayne]

Well this is a great help, thanks! ... Have two questions. 1) Do you thin the chipping medium with anything? In the video your's looks like a liquid, the bottle I received is more like a gel paste that won't go through the airbrush well at all ... and 2) After you've chipped and such how long should you give the model for the chipping medium to fully dry under the paint before you should varnish. (Would it reactivate or chip off once varnished?)

Nice video man. Great and usefull tips :D

[michalis]

Do you dilute it with water for the airbrush?

[czaczaja]

Good stuff, Can you tell us whats your nozzle/psi? when I spray the medium its way too thick and splatters little droplets as opposed to a thin mist.

[OhZafus]

Great stuff! I've just bought some. Thanks for doing this. One question though: after making the chips, how long would you wait to use watered down paints? Basically how long does it take for the chipping medium take to 'deactivate' after being activated with water?

Does this need an spray gun or can it be applied with a brush

[ljohnsson]

does the cihpping medium (both of them) only work with airbrush?

[gmrwawa]

Can I wipe out Vallejo chipping off? After watching this video I realized I applied too much.

[DeathByFrenchFry]

cant you just use a matt varnish, or matte finish on it so it doesn't have shine? doesn't sound so bad

[oliverizzard]

Actually the one on the right could be good depending on what you want to do

I got there new chipping medium yesterday different bottle from my hobby shop for a test review to try and its absolutely bollocks! It's very thick but iv been up night testing different ways and it works with a very very thin mist ofnthe product over the surface nothing mear likenthe amount you had here that's what I done to start with and it all peeled off soon as water got under the paint! And you have to chip it yourself completely crap! Honestly try AKs worn effects for chipping and worn paint they definitely have cracked it! Its perfect! Very fine thin layer with damp brush to get worn effects or cornice chipping like the hairspray look doing it controlled with a brush use a bitty more water! Honestly AKs worn effects product really has got it down to a T what ever they use for it but its perfect! I won't be using anymore of the vallejo one! I have to give a review to the new stock product in the shop today and it's not looking good!

[ypehille]

is it possible to mix the medium with Vallejo thinner, it sprayed terrible in my airbrush like the right half on your testing piece. of what dit i do wrong

[ritchiekolvers]

Tutorial was useful, but I do recommend putting more effort in the editing.
