I really like the finished result. Also, that old Battlemaster @ 1:15 is also really friggen cool too. Looks like they were trying to do a F-22 Raptor gold canopy which I think is a fantastic idea!

That is incredible work! I will be watching this again but I do have a question. What gloss coat do you use after the painting is done? The pictures you showed of the finished canopies on the other Mech is very shiny and they look like glass. Thanks for sharing this,

Thank you for these video's. I haven't painted in over a decade, but between the new BattleTech mini's and your video's I've picked up the brush again! Your models look amazing, but I was wondering if you ever do battle damage, type effects on them? I've seen some simple methods that use foam sponges, to semi randomly make nicks and the like that seems very effective. But I was wondering what your methods are? Maybe for something more substantial, like laser gouges, or A/C punctures and the like.

Thanks for the kind words and welcome back to the painting hobby. I think the video linked here will address what you're asking. It's a bit older and I could probably do a more targeted update that focuses on just one or two things. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rZh8epmXspmYXYE.html

Gosh, those old Griffins and Shadowhawks where we had to cut the accessories off the sprues and glue them on. I'm sure you hear this a lot but... Man, I wish I knew then what I know now. Some of my first 'mechs wouldn't have been painted in single colors with Testors gloss model paints. There's an idea for a future video, how to strip old minis so we can try again.

Potentially a stupid question, but do you apply the gloss to the cockpit before or after the dry coat?

@CamoSpecsOnline Жыл бұрын

Nothing stupid about asking about something you're unsure of. Gloss on the cockpit is the very last step after a protective varnish.

Wich colors did you use for the body of the red battlemaster? the base color, the hihlight, the black and the gun barrels.

@CamoSpecsOnline 4 жыл бұрын

The base coats were airbrushed on starting with Vallejo German Camo Medium Brown, then Reaper Rach Red, followed by 50/50 Rach Red with GW Trollslayer Orange. The edge highlights on the red were with Trollslayer orange and then Vallejo Sky Grey. The gun barrels were based with a thinned Vallejo Model Air Base Grey then washed with Nuln Oil and then highlighted with 50/50 Base Grey and Black then an edge highlight with Vallejo Sky Grey. The joints were Secret Weapon Tire Black then Vallejo Oily Steel and washed with nuln oil.

What colors would you recommend for the red canopy? From the darkest to lightest point. Thanks.

@CamoSpecsOnline Жыл бұрын

I like to use Vallejo Scarlett Red or ProAcryl Dark Red as my first shade over the black. Then I like Vallejo Blood Red or ProAcryl Bold Pyrrole Red and then I'll typically use an orange and some white to get to the bright points. Citadel's Airbrush Trollslayer Orange or ProAcryl Orange are very good.

@john88benson 3 жыл бұрын

Hi, do you think you might expand a bit further on the glossing process? I was following along with this tutorial with a Battlemaster and when I attempted to gloss the canopy it looked absolute pants. I was using Vellejo gloss and went with two coats, while the transitions looked decent au naturel they were pretty stark with the gloss coat and the finish left a lot to be desired. I assume I would need to really work on the blending for it to work glossed? Also I am not sure if I needed to thin out the gloss coat or if you need to really go ham adding coats to get a nice finish?

@CamoSpecsOnline 3 жыл бұрын

I stick to just using Citadel Ardcoat as I'm not impressed with Vallejo's gloss most of the time. However, a thicker coat MAY be what you need to help with the surface drying smooth for the gloss layer but that's up to you to risk trying. I don't thin any of my gloss, I want it viscous so it doesn't run off and I feel it dries to a brighter shine if I don't.
