My latest video on Scribing Panel Lines is up


Recommended Posts

Paul,

I watched both your new videos, and both are fantastic.

I do have a question about primers. I use Tamiya Gray Surface Primer thinned with their yellow cap Lacquer Thinner, and really haven't had any issues with it softening Squadron Green Stuff. I do mist on the 1st few coats, let it dry for 10 min or so, then a heavy coat. I've never laid down a wet coat like you recommend. And I do polish out the dried primer.

Since you're using a commercial auto primer, I'm assuming that it's much stronger then the Tamiya thinner I'm using, which is causing the softening issue. I've also started to seal the final sanded and polished Green Stuff with thin CA, which is then sanded and polished, more for dealing with the porosity issues, then preventing the softening of the putty.

I only have one air brush, an external Paasche -H unit with 1, 3, & 5 mm tip setups. I use the .5mm setup for priming.

Am I on the right track with my methods?

It's interesting (about the video on primers) that we - well, at least me - always tend to go for super fine needle/nozzle combos instead of just using a larger set and get a smooth coat right from the get go. I seem to always have issues spraying primer so now I'm thinking it is because I always use either a .2 or .3 set up. Hmmm...time try a bigger set.

Thanks Paul!

Rob

Errr... you guys DO realize that this video was posted over 4 years ago, right?   Not much last that long on the internet....  

 

LOL..

 

Doh...!!! :doh:

Anyhow, the videos on my YouTube channel are still working after 10 years now. Could it be because they receive no less than 50.000 visits a day?

Cheers,

You are so awesome. How do you find the time to click on your videos that many times every day?

Oh, I know, but thanks for having realised about that; kind of late, but anyway. :coolio:

Doppelganger .... you might want to get some fresh air ... and lighten up

 

:woot.gif: Mr Budzik, sir!

My mom is hopelessly in love both with you and your voice.

Kind of chilly out there right now.

Merry Christmas, Paul :worship:

Cheers,

PS: Incredible videos, by the  way.

I need to get a scriber though for those models that do not have clearly defined panel lines.

 

I strongly recommend you get these:

With the 0.10 blades; they're about the best available out there.

Those I get after seeing master Yufei Mao (aka Haneto) use them.
