Post-Shading for Scale Model Aircraft Part One

[SShmz08]

How much budget do I need to start my own scale modelling kit? Airbrushes are expensive not to mention the price of an air compressor.

[malydilnar]

How do you get your paint so neat and thin? Whenever i try it i always screw up my entire model:(

[LordDoomBlade]

Heckle put a deckle on Jeckles speckled freckle

Nah, I'm a dee-kal man too.

On the 10th of Jaunary 2011 a worldwide boycott of youtube will take place. Which means for one whole day no-one will visit youtube. We want VEVO (and other companies) and their f*cking ads OUT. Do your part sharing this comment on as many videos as possible and give this one a thumbs up!

[AssassinsCreed987]

@zodaclick Fair enough.

[tomview1]

@zodaclick - IF you buy Youtube - you can make this happen!!!

[hoppinonabronzeleg]

Do you think saying the full name of the airbrush is product placement?

[BLUESGUITARMANIAC]

How do i airbrush 1/72 scale aircraft?Is it possible to only get a certain amount of effects on kits of this scale?

[KapePhoenix]

Very nice model, i learned much!

Are you Dr Bunhead from Brainiac?

[BHModelling]

BHModelling.co.uk has an extensive range of model making supplies!

[MajorWilliams3]

lol @1:32 "It achieves a nice finish for your dickels"

[spidiq8]

@MajorWilliams3 That's Decals, all model kits come with them, of course you're stateside so that'd be Deeeee-Cals, technically, the Aussies and Brits are right, theres only one E

[00sven00sven00]

@spidiq8 As an Aussie myself i personally hate the pronounciation 'deckles', ive always known it as decals. I think if its supposed to be pronounced the aussie way it should be spelled 'deckles'. But thats just me...

[sphinxrising58]

@UltraGokin Gee, that just warms the cookles of my heart, knowing a bunch of immature adults who play with toys are rooting for me, snickers, lol

[sphinxrising58]

@UltraGokin Let's see you make one post using your real ID, as if ( opps, that's condescending ), & as for douchebag know it all, pretty sure I am talking to one ( opps, that's arrogant ), guess you got me, cannot do it, lol

[MHMonsie]

well i love your videos they help alot but im on my 5th model its a F18 and i would love to make this my first realistic looking model and i only have hand painting tools and no airbrush any ideas on how to weather certain area's of my model?

[wammyburger]

what a nerd

[MrHotrod68]

plz use a bush and can you make a video on how to paint a cockpit with paints using a brush

[parkerTB6]

Excellent to see a pro at work in a hobby which is rarely talked about anyway still top stuff

[sphinxrising58]

OK, the guy talks about making the models look " realistic ", but then goes & sprays them with high gloss clear coats.

Show me one authentic WW-II aircraft that had a high glass paint on it.

Pont being, if you are going to do it, do it right, or do not bother doing it at all.

[rustythesurferdude]

he's going to flat coat the model later numnuts.

[sphinxrising58]

Hey numbnuts, if you plan insulting someone, at least lear how to spell the insult correctly, lol

As far as what you claim, why not start out with a flat coat of clear coat to start with, or do all YouTube hobbyist like making things more complicated than what need be?

[stennert]

@sphinxrising58

An old friend of mine once told me the reason to why it's better to use a gloss varnish first, followed up by a matte varnish, but I can't recall it now. I'm fairly sure there's a reason to it though.

As for spelling, no reason to toss remarks about it around. :) Especially since you had an error or two in your first post.

[ialarmu]

You are correct, modellers like myself use products like "Future floor polish" to protect paintwork during various stages of painting.

1 coat to prep for decals as a smooth surface prevents silvering of the decals,

1 coat over the decals to prep for weathering then, depending on the weathering effect you are trying to achieve, you would hit the model with a final flat coat.

sphinxrising58 should not be so quick to judge subjects he obviously knows nothing about, let alone spelling.

[Phantomshock]

@sphinxrising58

Because decals and wahses should only be applied on gloss coats. You should at least research or know how to build and paint a kit before mouthing- off.

[sphinxrising58]

@Phantomshock: Kits are for the talentless & lil kids, I make models from sctratch, & they look every bit as good or better than any model you will ever buy, fact, lol

[Phantomshock]

@sphinxrising58 Seriously? Are you really calling modelers talentless? You obviously haven't seen very many models. You would have to be a complete moron to call guys like Andrew Dextras and Brett Green. 60% or more of the overall effect of a model lies withing the stages of modeling that come AFTER the construction. While i do give you a LOT of credit for being able to scratchbuild, you are not in the least bit justified to call modelers that build kits as "talentless"

[wirikuta14]

@sphinxrising58 if you`re gonna open your mouth at least know what you`re talking about, gloss coats are for aplying decals and washes, then you give a final flat coat. I bet you dont have a quarter of the talent this guy has.

[sphinxrising58]

@wirikuta14 You're right, I do not play with toy model kits, I make everything I want from scratch & to scale, &, oh, I hand paint them myself, lol

Let's see his start out with nothing, & then make something cool out of it, lol

[EdjanFonRainaz]

Esta chida tu pelona...

[Sunclief]

You need to clean that airbrush.

[aimansyafiq99]

how much does the airbrush cast.

[TheSuperiorAce]

Most good ones cost around $150-200. I would reccomend the Harder and Steenbeck Evolution 2 in 1, I've had mine for 3 years and still works great.

[hanaw79]

Awsome ! i've learned a lot thanks Man

[LethalHobo]

HEY!!!! Is that supposed to be Oscar Boesch's aircraft?? black 14??? I flew with him once in one of his two seater glider on the airfield he uses =D

[BOROCKHARDJR]

Alton Brown shaved his head?

[elfranz]

what do you think about tamiya's weathering kits?

I mean for things like smoke, burned surfaces, sand...

[Yosh997]

Ok, good stuff but i feel like airbrushing this dude's scalp. Blame the weather.

[wageslaveZ]

Be nice if I could get a bootleg DVD of his shows. You wouldn't believe how much Testors charges for his DVD's... >:(

[Andy4272]

Mate do us a Spitfire.

[arihack]

I love the talent of this man, nice nice... good job.

[nowayandnohow]

I love the better-than-the-rest quality of your videos, and you are very professional in your deliverance, but why are your videos so short and why do you waste so much time talking? This video is 4 minutes, and you spend almost a minute (25%) talking about another video you already made. more action less talk please.

[tisoy909]

@nowayandnohow Because hes being professional in his "deliverance". lol

[keoaye]

might want to invest in better video equipment...not good enough quality for the information you are giving

[V6Goose]

Good stuff Brett... always waiting for more. Cheers

[calmatosport]

could you make nice bird blood stripes on my airplane?

5 ft. wingspan, seems like a challenge to me

[TMTGAU]

speak up dude.

[NVanWendy]

True! I've good the sound slider under the vid AND my earphone volume both at MAX!
