jr_rules2 Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 This is by far one of the nicest 109 builds I've ever seen. Check out the chipping on this build! http://www.master194.com/forum/viewtopic.p...asc&start=0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jrallman Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 very realistic though I dont read french to hear his method. i think ill try babbelfish, but if anyone speaks french and can translate, that would be great! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Platypus Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 (edited) very realistic though I dont read french to hear his method. i think ill try babbelfish, but if anyone speaks french and can translate, that would be great! Basically there are 2 methods. 1st Spray a basis colour (the one that should appear on chipped areas) Take a small chunk of sponge and dip it in maskol or any masking liquid. Rub it on a paper to remove the excess, a bit like for a dry-brush. You should only leave a small amount of masking liquid on the sponge. Touch the part with the sponge randomly. Spray your final colour. Then peel the masking chips et voilà ... 2nd It's the opposite. Paint your part with the final colour. Dip the sponge in the "chipping color", remove the excess and touch the part randomly. Hope it's clear enough. Edited December 14, 2006 by Platypus Quote Link to post Share on other sites

desmojen Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 That is fantastic! It's not very often I'm bowled over by a model, but that is superb! And it's only 1/48th! Awesome stuff. Jen. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chris Kethan Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 Cool Chipping, and even cooler paint scheme. I've never seen that one before... Chris Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I will have to try this on a build soon! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Randy Wise Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 Do you know what I thought when I first saw those photos...? The guy painted an undercoat and let that properly cure. Then he sprayed the final color and immediately stuck tape to the surface and lifted the paint. I've seen this done on other builds and tried it myself. It looks identical.

Andrew D. the Jolly Rogers guy Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 STUNNING texture to the scrapes; might be something to this after all.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It looks identical.Randy ive tried that as well, but my paint chips always ended up larger and less realistic looking than the ones he got. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jay Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 As Skii says this is a technique used regularly on armour kits. Tried it myself a few times using a torn and frayed piece of scotchbrite and maskol. The golden rule is 'less is more' Take a look at the missing-lynx website and also look for Mig productions- the man is a master at weathering! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
