The Madhatter Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 that's a really awesome tip using Vaseline as a chipping agent - I will have to use that one myself one day. Who comes up with these ideas?? Does it leave any greasy residue though? Looking forward tot he next update! :D Si Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bigasshammm Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Not sure if you guys are into video games but if you have a PlayStation 2 and get the Bounty Hunter game it has a good back story to Slave 1. You follow and play as Jango in the game and in the later missions you're on a prison world where they have these ships for defense. Jango eventually steals one and blows up the prison. So there's no more of these ships anywhere. It's actually a pretty good game. Couldn't you rewash the parts if there was any residue after the paint? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sebastijan Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 Looks like Bobba modified his ship a bit - here's a screenshot from my favorite E:II scene looks like Bobba removed his seat and it appears that circular headrests were also removed. but I guess we'll have to wait a few more years for the Bobba Fett movie to be certain :D Quote Link to post Share on other sites

caudleryan Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 How exactly do you use hairspray to "chip" the paint? I've always been curious about this. I read a few articles, but I get confused as to how you apply it and then take it off to reveal the chipping effect. Can you share your dirty little secret? ^_^ Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Can you share your dirty little secret? ^_^/> LoL, my dirty little secret is that I'm novice at the hairspray chipping method..... This is how I understand it: first prime and paintvthe underlying color, seal it with a clear coat or flat coat if it's acrylic paint, then apply the hairspray. Then paint the next coat of paint on top of the hairspray coat, the hairspray is water solluable so tbe idea is tvat you apply some water to the area you want chipped and gently rub with a wet brush and the chips will come off....
