I am a model builder for over 20 years, and with Your channel I can learn many new ways to improve my skills. I didn't realised that with Maskol I can make a "rusty signs". Gotta test it on my new tanks ;)
Thank You, Humbrol, for this channel!
Cheers,
Andrew

The chipping effect? Totally!!! Very smart and awesome effect so easy achieved with maskol, very good alternative, if not the best?

[IntruderPL]

amazing. Things changed a lot since my last modeling. I'm stunned.

An informative video. I am just getting back into model making after a number a decades doing other things. One thing I have learnt and rad about is prepping the surface before painting. This includes decreasing the surface as fingers leave a grease marks. I notice that the body of the tank, while still being a paint work in progress, was being held by bare hands rather than gloved hands. Does finger grease not materially affect the importance of humbrol products?

Using maskol for replicating chipping effect looks like a good alternative to the salt and hairspray method I've seen demonstrated elsewhere.

That stuff looks amazing! Those rust effects are pretty awesome.

[RobotJeeg]

One of the best chipping effect ever seen! And so easy to do this way! No hair spray, no salt, easy.
My humbrol maskol is not so creamy. It is more thick. What can I use as thinner to make it more easy to use with a brush?

Excellent product Humbrol such an inspiration to modelling.

I plan to get some of this and the Vallejo mask just in case this doesn't like Vallejo paint. I think this would take away some of the intimidation of doing hard edged camo and multi patter camo.

So impressive! I have just ordered some!   What an inspirational video. Thanks. Dave

[BazookaJRambo]

Great chipping and rust effect there! Even more so, with the paint layer looking like it has bubbled up as well as flaked off around the rust. :)

[DeanPark]

I have a question - you sprayed grey acrylic over the rust colour and maskol in the last demonstration on this video and then used enamel thinners to bleed the rust.   I use enamel paints to spray, so would using the enamel thinners still be safe to use to bleed the rust? or would this take off my grey enamel painted finish?   cheers. Dave

I've not used this before, but looks very good - will have to give it a try!

[TimMenai]

To clarify. If a canopy has been treated with Humbrol clear gloss to create a glass effect, does this mean Maskol cannot be used to mask it when painting the canopy frame?

[metalunic]

how long do you let the airbrush colour dry before you apply the liquid mask? Just to prevent the original colour (acrylics) from coming with it afterwards

Great project, makes like so easy by the looks of things! Great! Cheers, Jack
