[UltimatePrime10]

could you tell my the name of the song

[wagbo121]

[ceconk123]

Why do you wear hat inside home?

[superfuckayou]

@ceconk123 beanie* cuz it might be cold

[SkemeKOS]

@ceconk123

Maybe because he isnt a robot.

[wellardme]

Dry Brushing is a great technique and you've done well there to replicate worn metal on that gun. I believe there are varying degrees of dry brushing. Like on a German grey tank for example, i would apply much less paint so that there is a fine line thus reducing "over-paint" into the other areas which would make the model messy. But i love what you've done!

[HELLJUMP3R7]

What did you do to your hand? :D

[cerberouse1]

the hand and other examples actually showed up rather well even with a webcam. Thanks for helping me explain what dry brushing is to a friend that's never done any painting like this before!

[XTheWorldWarsX]

thx a bunch nro really good help ive just strted and iwas like wtf does tht mean and how now i know

[ems41095]

man, if i do straight build and panel lining and adding some decals, can i do this immediately without spray painting or airbrushing?? pls. reply i'm new to this hobby.

[Slaughter619]

dayum. thats pretty boss man. I've been dieing to do this to my 1:144 GN-X custom. But the metal under it's paint is a gold alloy for emergency atmospheric re-entry. so i got ta weather it in gold lol. And yes, i give my custom gundams back stories. if any one haz an issue wif it, plz contact the complaint department at 1-800-go touch your self. still, 5/5 on the boss scale for your weathering.

[tobuttica]

Great tutorial, but you make it almost like you are teaching a child to do it. Great job though, the goods look nice.

[MultiPlappermaul]

nice :o)

[acvaticlifE]

[Loopey111111]

R.I.P Nujabes

[jazdx01]

very nice, just the right amount of dry brush

[opi335]

thanks for the tips, i subbed

[ThaStreetBaller]

WATS THAT PICTURE BEHIND U??...O n great vid byy the way:)) n coool black on black on black on black gear:))

[cudthedestroyer]

thanks man, not bad

[lovefishin101]

wow, i didnt expect that to turn out the way it did. nice job!

[Krzysztof72890]

must we watch half of film until you stard doing anything?

[MetalGamerhead]

Thanks alot for making this tutorial. I'm doing weathering too but for 1:1 scale replica rifles. Guess i'll need a bigger brush XD

[estrulz]

5 stars very helpful for my warhammer models

[robdenteuling]

that is pretty cool sir, thanks =O

[SMUSHERMAN]

easy to uderstand. and you dropped the gun at 5:39 hahaha.

TIP: when mixing paint add a SMALL marble into the paint bottle it will help it mix better. CAUTION! don't add little metal objects to substitube marbles this will destroy your paint.

[giocgio]

really good job man seeing you i learned how to dry brush and I did the weathering for my model aeroplane: a supermarine spitfire, for the inside part of the fuselage..

nice and really clear video.. bye

[xboxrule3]

Thanks for the advice, been wanting to try weathering my models but cant get the technique down. Noticed that FF7 poster (not wall scroll) on your wall, never seen that one before and my buddy is an avid collector, where did you get it?

[codeawe]

wats the song

[drymeat]

Ronaldinho Gaúcho?

[ptolemiaos233]

wat is that gun?

[OvEnPR00fPigeOn]

im curious to know what happened to ur hand....injury? or u spilled paint or somethin all over it?

[theabsentee]

clearly thug mittens

[siong62630]

@OvEnPR00fPigeOn he think its cool in that way, what to do......

[tnpr3dator]

this is a joke, right?

[zversus]

so why would it be a joke?

[tnpr3dator]

Using 6 minutes to explain a technique that is known to all that have been painting and building models or miniatures for more than a couple of days - and that can be explained in ten seconds (without using a glove)...

[dragz1224]

can this be used on the entire kit and will it give the same good look or would it be better to use another type of weathering on the body? just starting with weathering my gundam kits so i'm kinda new to it =)

[zversus]

itll work on the entire thing bro... i dont know if you watched all the way till the end but i show off some body parts that were weathered... i also have some armored core kits that are entirely weathered too so you can look at those

[dragz1224]

awsome its turning out great thnx =) good video helped a lot

[MrDreamblade]

@dragz1224 if you wanna weather a gundam that is mostly white, you can make him look rusty by taking a bit of super glue and sand. put the superglue where you want the rust to be, then sprnkle a fine sand onto it.

[Altier215]

is that a gundam kit gun, i want to get some of those kits, but am too busy at the moment with warhammer and warhammer 40,000

[ebanb]

its cold in ur house if you have a cap.

[dragonx748]

Also, does this work on unpainted parts?

[dragonx748]

Can you tell me the best type of paint to do this? And I don't mean brand, I mean acrylic or enamel or whatever type of paint is out there.

[ezequieleitor]

muy buen video y exelente calidad, muchas gracias!!

[SolidSnakeInMyPants]

Sweet,,, Im glad to see your doing tutorials,,, I will just direct everyone to you,, everyone is asking me for tutorials but you do a great job!!!

[marcvstv]

Thanks a lot!! Very helpfull video !!

[mustang68matt302]

Very good tutorial. Faved and thank you. Now I need to get it to work with enamel.

[zversus]

you probably might need to use some flat or gloss coating spary for it

[pattyboy1001]

hey um the paint you used was tamiya acrylic silver right?

[theLANJIAU]

hey while u were weathering,did u dip for more paint or continue wif juz the 1st dip,and btw shld i dilute the paint wif thinner?

[Lu337]

great vid. Gonna try it out on some warhammer 40k figures.

[youngtiger1]

Nice clip zversus, I use the same tech when working on aircrafts and it works great. I just wanted to comment on the quality of your video. It's much clean then all the other I have seen here.

One this I would like to see is how you do your washes? Got a clip on that?

[ricetiung]

uh.. WRONG USE OF WRONG GLOVE????? use rubber gloves biatch

[zversus]

i know what im doing numb nuts a rubber glove is what i use normally but in case you were too dumb to listen i DID say why i was wearing that glove so just go suck a cock and comment on someone who doesnt know what theyre really doing like take yourself for example...thanks for your time...biatch

[gundamexia95]

hey wat colour paint should i use to weather the white.....many colours

[pattyboy1001]

best colors for white ar silver grey and black but be careful with black cause it may get messy

[UndergroundFreeze]

Nujabes is dope man good to see someone else with good taste in hip hop. Btw i just started painting Warhammer 40k models and this helped alot

[eckergus]

Dude, I tell you... at first I was a bit skeptical, but by the end of your video a was impressed! Nice job man!

I collect Macross Mecha and I'm looking forward to weathering my Valkyries to make them look "more real." This technique is pretty nice, although I don't think it would work with my fighters... great job, though! XD

[zversus]

itll work if you change up the technique a bit with different tools...try to use pastels too

[narubaku]

do you think its possilble to do this to HG 1/144 gundam dynames???

[zversus]

its possible for anything...just dont mess up and put too much paint like i did

[morbira]

So out of curiosity, should the base color of the piece and a clear top coat be applied first before dry brushing or any weathering for that matter?

[zversus]

heres some things i know you can do in that matter...you can apply the base color and the coat first then weather or you can weather and then apply a (suggested) flat coat...weathering is usually a final add touch up to a kit after all is said and done

[morbira]

Thanks for the info! I just got back to work on a huge stack of Gundam models I collected over time and wanted to start raising my skill and quality. Do you plan on making any more weathering tutorials? Stuff like appropriate color choice for fading and water stains and whatnot.

[zversus]

yup...using pastels or pigments...thats my next tutorial vid...its a little more complex and you might need a can of flat coat for this one

[morbira]

Rock on, looking forward to it. Good pick on the Nujabes, by the way

[jimmy4l5]

I buy my paint from chinatown at this store on clay street its like 2 dollars a bottle of tamiya.

[JaCieKochams2]

wer can i get that aerosol paint?

[2Old4Toys]

Nice job on the 9 Ball!

Darth Vader totally over reacted and messed up his kid's hand pretty bad. Luke was wearing a black glove over a cybernetic prosthetic manipulator afterwards.

So what'up wid da hand?

[zversus]

rain...basketball...cement...j­ust add it all up

[Killeroftime3]

Hey. So you just mean any type of paint? Or does it have to be a specific one? Like the Tamiya Colours?

[zversus]

any model kit paint...tamiya...mr.color...te­stors...w.e

[JessFromMead]

Favoriting this one. I just finished my Hogire AC and it looks sorta "Flat" but detailed as hell. so thanks for posting this I may give it a makeover before I start taking pictures!

[chiosin]

i have the X-11 paint that you used in this video... and yeah.. it looks better on master grades.. using silver on white makes it look too dirty.. so i suggest using chrome silver paint on dark shades only... know any color that we can use for white plastics?

[zversus]

i used silver cuz the color of the original part was metallic...for white id recommend using grays or browns or maybe even sandy colors but do NOT use metallic colors for whites

[grimer118]

could you do an tutorial for wet transfers ?

[zversus]

when i get the chance i will yes

[mrbananaisamonkey]

the nineball? ive been looking for that for ages :(

[jootoobersters]

it looks good!!!! ☺

[whaaaazaaaa]

nice tip dude. you should've submitted this to 2old4toys's contest.

[TWSFreedom2306]

It's a very useful tips for my models! ^^ BTW, what is the code of the paint?

[zversus]

like i said...its x-11 acrylic based chrome silver but i advise you to try other colors and not just the one i used

[TWSFreedom2306]

Ok, i'll try it one day!

[usalove10]

I subsribe to you

[zversus]

thanks for subbing

[laonet15]

give me back my AC Mark hahaha jk

[920306915003]

cool I like to try it buy what is the code for the paint?

[zversus]

its x-11 acrylic based chrome silver but i advise you to try other colors

[chiosin]

is that 9 ball?

[zversus]

yes it is

[chiosin]

wow thanks dude.. this is great.. tried it on my cherudim with enamel paint .. and it looks great... btw my cherudim is 1/144 hg... and instead of a faded brown i used silver... and it looks good... Thanks for this.

[bkdk79]

have you seen the new armored core kit it the cool white clint or glint i mite get it or th new sword impulse or astraea type f

[zversus]

yeah ive seen the white glint kit but im gonna pass that one up for a while

[TWSFreedom2306]

AWESOME!! Great job!

[DuskRed]

DAM really nice tutorial there hope u post more tutorials for other building tips soon =D

[BikerTrashWolf]

I could have used to have seen this before I build my Rick Dias. I think it came out pretty well regardless though.

[jay21jay21jay]

that is a fukin osum poster

[MoeTuesday13]

might have to try that. great tutorial.

[RapidoJak]

Wow, that looks wicked. Awesome tutorial. I'd love to see more.

[beaglese]

That's great, now I know how to do dry brushing. Will this work with most crafty-paints, or if not can you pick up that kind of paint at any local store?

I wonder how this will work on SD kits because they could use some detail. If I sand some bumps into there big heads it will probably work. In the video, are you implying that you can use different colours, like brown, for a dirt effect?

[zversus]

yes...as long as you have PAINT...doesnt what what color or brand as long as you have the right color paint for what you wanna weather with...and brown is actually a nice alternative

[astrayredframe]

that looks great! thanks for the tip!

[Elemenopee129]

whats the song

[zversus]

Nujabes - Reflection Eternal

its in the beginning dude...

[insuficientdata]

isn't that the linear rifle from armored core?

[zversus]

yup...this kit is an armored core kit

[ultimatelights13]

wowo thats cool:p

[fl1pme1ster]

Thnx for the Tip good tutorail bro!

[zetaGUNdam93]

weathering would look really good on armored core kits

[lhasarus]

I think the same way. Its better not to overdo drybrushing.

But aside from that its a really nice tutorial. I've the same paint and will try it out if I'm workiing on a fitting project.

I tried it out with pastels in the past. You get nice results too ^^

[zversus]

i intentionally did the overdoing of the dry brushing on THIS particular kit since its used in battle so much...with other kits like gundams you HAVE to be careful of the amount that youre using otherwise it does look way overdone...

[narutoman876]

wow its alot simpler than i thought!

[jkdarlow]

nice, not been a fan of weathering, mostly as ive never seen some really good weathering, until now

[navigatorhat]

That is some sexy metal right there!

Can you add in some annotations to explain some things? I think I understand but I'm not sure.

[zversus]

im adding them...come back in like 10 minutes they should be ready

[navigatorhat]

I should have known :P

I'm adding annotations of my own right now. New vid is up! Extra plus music ^_^

[navigatorhat]

Thanks a lot. That was really helpful. Now I have an idea where I've been going wrong with my painting as well as a cool new technique to try out :)

[skatingleo]

what is the green tile thing in the video

[zversus]

its a hobby board...formally called a cutting coard i think? its really nice to have its also in alot of 2old4toys' and vegeta8259's vids

[skatingleo]

where can you get one?

[zversus]

get one of what?

[skatingleo]

the hobby board

[zversus]

you can typically get them from art supply stores...i got them at ichiban-kan for $1.50...dunno if you know what that is =/

[skatingleo]

what ichiban-kan no i don't know but im sure some other art supply stores might have it

[zversus]

haha ichiban-kan is actually a thrift store in japan town center in SF and one also in a near by town where i live...but if you decide to buy at an art supplies store then itll probably cost you twice that price

[skatingleo]

well ill probably have to pay it because i live nowhere near SF

[skatingleo]

cool thanks for the tip

[cyclone62]

nice for good tips

[esaberia]

I love you T_T

[zversus]

um...thanks? lol

[Doudoudoudoudouduu]

Don't get the wrong ideas O.o I simply love tutorial videos
