How to paint Raised Detail - Scale Modelling

A video on a technique I use to paint raised details on scale model kits. I will show you two examples, and two slightly different methods on how to accomplish this. Plastic Modelling.

I freakin love this video! I am currently on my first build since i was a kid and I am now 45. I am taking my time to build the Revell 1:48 Top Gun Maverick F-14 and all I got is RAISED lines. I was able to take the landing bay doors that have a ton of raised detail on them [edit:(hoses, clamps and other unknown metal items)] and after watching this I went back to them and "improvised" with techniques that YOU showed me and I am so proud of myself that I was able to put into play something I had just learned. Thank you for your work and I look forward to all your other videos!

You have just saved me a lot of frustration from painting detail. Thanks for posting.

Thanks mate for doing this. Wish I’d seen this years ago.

2023 just came across this but thank you. Very good work you do. Thanks.

Alternatively and far easier way would be to drybrush the raised details until details were crisp and clear, then just shoot a coat of matte clear over it to lock it in. Good video and nice idea, always good to know multiple ways to achieve something.

Straight and to the point commentary. Thank you...

beautiful work, came out really good. seeing a few critical comments on here which blows my mind. extremely fine detail work especially considering the scale...I will be using your technique for sure!

That is a very interesting way to paint raised details. I can’t wait to try it. Thanks for the tip.

Love this video! What an artist you are. You sound so humble too.

So much so that I am now a subscriber!

Looking forward to reviewing your other videos and learning much before I start my next project. I’m just getting back into the hobby after many years away so finding wonder in the builders, constructors and artists who now populate this hobby. What a great time to get back!

You can also lay down the silver over the whole thing you have the lettering to be in acrylic then paint the grey over the top of that with enamel then dampen the cotton bud with thinner and rub over the raised detail lettering and the acrylic will show through perfectly without the need for used washes that leave tide marks

You could always drybrush those details on or take a piece of plasticard and put paint on the edge to get the details without much mess. Jun's Mini Garage does this quite often

nice technique.. really useful for me. Thanks a lot!

[fridonina]

Now that looks nice ! Thanks for the tip

so the key is to paint the main part in enamels and then details in acrylic - am I correct?
