Let's Play Around With Different Painting And Weathering Techniques | T-90 | Revell 1/72

Revell's T-90 in 1/72 scale is not the most breathtaking model ever made, so I think it's an ideal project to test some rather unusual painting and weathering techniques. Well, each method is gonna be the same as usual, but we'll switch their order - for example we'll start with some mud!
My goal is to figure out a more time efficient approach to weathering while keeping the results as good as possible, so that we can finish more scale models and have more fun with the hobby!

I'd actually still prefer a brush or a sponge on flatter surfaces, but these more complex models are easier to chip with HS as the paint wear always starts around edges. Maybe the sweetest spot will be to combine all 3 methods together.

@gwiazdapioun2127 3 жыл бұрын

Oh and also I've just found out that the H2200 (where H stands for N in Cyrillic) is a code used by the Russian railways to denote oversized cargo; "H" stands for "негабаритност" (nyegabaritnost, oversized load), first number denotes bottom oversize area, second - side oversize area, third - upper oversize area, and fourth - load exceeds standard oversize areas, and the numbers can go from 1 to 6 to denote how much the load exceeds the loading gauge (except for the 4th number which is always denoted with number 8). So 2200 means that the tank exceeds the bottom (I think it's because they need to lower the sides of railway platforms and they could hit something next to the track) and side loading areas, but does not exceed the upper loading area (ie. it is not too tall) and does not exceed standard loading gauges of the Russian Railways.

@oraszuletik 4 жыл бұрын

There is one school in model painting: the colors mixed lighter as you are going down to the smaller scales. It is trying to imitate the transparency (which is not 100%,) of the air between the viewer and the model. The same happens in landscape paintings: the hills are bluish in the background. That's why you feel your tank bigger, when it is in lighter color

@ConradsStudio 4 жыл бұрын

About lighter colors making things look bigger, there's a phenomenon where saturation doesn't really scale. Also, bright light can add additional desaturation which becomes important in CGI, and the effect can reduce any "toylike" qualities in a miniature. Fantastic channel, sir. I've been a modeler since the 70's and I learn something new every video. :) (Edited to add), also since a scale model is sort of like looking at a full sized object from far away, distance hazing will lighten the object a bit too. I visited the battleship New Jersey (twice--ha!) and noticed how much darker the paint looks when you are close enough to touch it vs across the river where you can see the whole ship.
