what mix does he do at the 45 sec mark to get the dark details to stand out?? im working on an abrams and have seen many people on your videos do this, but I dont understand the what the mix is?? PLEASE HELP!!!
It's called a "wash." Just mix 1 part paint with about 10 parts thinner. If your model is painted with acrylic paint, use oil-based paints for your wash. You don't want all that thinner hurting your finish.
While that wash is still wet, mix a "detail wash" of 1 part paint to 5 parts thinner. Load a little of that onto a SMALL brush and touch bolts, hinges, seams, etc. The wet wash will "draw" your detail wash down against the edges of the bolts, etc.
Yep. Use enamel for your wash. The enamel thinner will not react with the acrylic paint - it won't damage the paint you already have on there. So 1) apply your base colors, camo, etc with the Tamiya acrylic and once that's dry, 2) apply your enamel wash like I described above..

what did he mix the pastels with? what kind of thinner??
9978marco 2 years ago
It's Tamiya X20 acrylic thinner. Tamiya packages its acrylics in round bottles and its enamels in square so there's no confusion.

Whats the liquid thing he mix with the chalk powder?
LeModelist 2 years ago
It wasn't chalk powder. It was a flattening agent used to give the paint a dead flat finish. He mixed it into his paint.
