Time for another scale modelling & weathering "How To" guide by www.scalewarmachines.com.
This time, we are explaining Tamiya's Clear Paints (and their Smoke Paint).
These are watersoluable semi-transparent shades designed to help you get a realistic finish on your models. Tamiya is a name synonymous with quality and we love their paints.
You can use them neat or diluted and apply by brush or (ideally) by airbrush. We use both Tamiya Lacquer Thinner and their X20A Acrylic Thinner.
In this film you will see the paints used on the following models;
Tamiya 1/35th scale GMC 2.5t Truck
Tamiya 1/35th scale Char B1 Bis
Revell 1/35th scale Artilleriewagen Draisine
Academy's 1/35th scale M113 ACAV
Tiger Model 1/35th scale VBL
Revell's 1/24th scale VW Golf GTi

One of the most useful how-to's I have seen. The use of the clear colors to tone down, adjust saturation and so forth is something very logical and somehow escaped my imagination. Thanks for an informative video which will allow me to use color more effectively, efficiently and will save myself time stumbling around for ways to adjust colors.

Thank you for a very interesting tutorial. I have these paints, and I don't use them very often, other than the occasional scifi/terrain piece. Although the things that I try to do usually work out fairly well, and as I originally intended, I suppose that I must consider myself a fairly inexperienced modeler. The main reason for that has to be, that whenever I see one of you highly experienced guys pick up well finished and highly detailed model, and aim an airbrush full of orange paint at it, I get a sense of panic. Honestly, the little voice in my head would definitely be screaming 'what are you doing?' I think that's why I love to watch an occasional tutorial by scale war machines among others. The information is always useful, and the inspiration is, well inspirational; but, the courage to actually try some of this craziness is probably the greatest benefit of all.

Once a modeller is confident enough to strip off paint and start all over or pull a paint finish back from the brink due to patient repair work, well that opens a sort of willingness for him or her to try adventurous techniques. Nothing ventured, nothing gained. We have no preferred paint range or set style we follow each time, half the fun is simply messing around with this stuff to see what new weathering effects can be created. Safe in the knowledge that you can always strip it off and start again or repair! But rarely does it ever get that radical. However, strip back a few old models and repaint and you'll feel way more confident knowing you can rescue a kit if things go bad.

Very true. I've made a few saves, including a complete strip thanks to a can of testors dullcote that had gone bad in ways chemistry simply can't explain. Like most midnight modelers, solo finaglers, or crazy cellar and garage type engineers, making clever uses out of what you have hand is usually half the fun. Well... that and scaring the neighbors. Thanks again for the content.

I use Tamiya X-27 Clear Red for miniature painting, usually using a brush for blood effects, or painting it directly over MDF bare wood for that lacquered armor effect (seen in old east Asian body armor). It tends to get gummed up rather quickly, not just on the brush but in the bottle as well - will using the X-20 thinner avoid this? What about water?

This was an awesome video I have several of the transparent colors from Tamiya I don't have their thinner I usually just try to send them with distilled water as our hobby shop doesn't really carry their thinner I do have a question though I'm going to try to use the red to cover a couple live transparent domes that go on the warp engines of a model of the Enterprise that I'm planning on trying to light up the problem is is that I'm not really sure how to airbrush the clear domes so that they come out looking even I'm afraid that when I airbrush it I'm going to get a darker pattern in one spot a lighter pattern in another and I'm just not going to get an even coat any suggestions on how to do that? Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated and I thank you for your time.

To what degree would you thin these colours down? I only ask because while some of them, like red, have airbrushed fine and clear, my attempts to use blue on windows actually made them semi-transparent and opaque, and I had to clean them off and brush paint instead.

It really depends on the effect desired. Start with small amounts of paint to thinner and work up. In the video we're diluting pretty much 50/50 and using airbrush coverage to determine the colour intensity.

All our builds have been filmed (over years!) so we tend to raid the video library as we need it rather than publish build videos in purely sequential order. We can take our time and concentrate on the videos theme that way rather than doing a Vlog type build diary dictated by the stages of the model or weathering process.

so I have a quick question, when sealing my applied decals on an airplane, made a rookie mistake of not masking the clear plastic canopy leaving it dull without a glassy effect. I know Tamiya makes both lacquer and acrylic paint. which is best to brush on to revive the canopy. my inclination is to turn to a lacquer due to it applies strong and hard. don't want to damage to plastic or seal created by the glue. any advice you can provide would be greatly appreciated. in advance, thank you for your return reply. regards, brian

Tricky, never encountered this scenario. I’d say lacquer or a product like AK Interactive’s Gauzy agents could be the way to go. I’d replicate what happened on some scrap transparent plastic, like the canopy sprue and do some tests to see which method works best. Spraying will always be better than brush, but your tests will show you what works and give you a low risk way to find out.

I’m an average modeller so I didn’t weather or anything, nor do I have an airbrush, so when I took to painting the model in tamiyas X-35 Semi gloss clear it started to dissolve the paint underneath, thankfully I didn’t do too much and it was easily fixable but I’m super confused as both paints are acrylic

Tamiya paints are hybrids really and some are lacquer based and can attack each other. Always seal between with something neutral like Klear/Future and test in small areas first - as you did. Also brush painting will agitate the paint below and will apply paints in thicker consistency which can reactivate the paint below (as with all lacquers style paints). You can chemically "reawaken" some paints by applying more coats - the solvents within react and soften the paint.

I actually have some of these Clear Acrylics, but I'm only limited to hand-brushing. 6:23 and 6:56 - Did you thin that paint before handbrushing? What did you use? 7:01 - By painting the underneath in silver, what do you mean? Paint it silver first before the clear color? Or paint the one side with clear then silver on the other?

Don't see why, let the silver dry fuly and apply thin top coats. If it's Testors enamel, it will be especially resistant under the orange. Acrylics could inter-react but test on a scrap piece to be safe and it's unlikely if each coat is fully dry.

What type of matt varnish is that?

@scalewarmachines 5 жыл бұрын
Without looking it's probably Vallejo Matt Varnish - that's the one we always use and at the start the one that went grey was certainly Vallejo. Think it was in the black label bottle from their chipping set - so maybe it's Vallejo Model Air. Usually though Vallejo Model Color Matt Varnish is what we use and is normally solid and dependable.

Hi. Would you recommend thinning the paint if you're hand painting things like goggles or windows?
@scalewarmachines
@scalewarmachines 4 жыл бұрын
Yes certainly, you can use lacquer or X20A thinners.

Lacquer is very smelly and toxic to breathe, it dries harder and glossier. The X20 will dry matter and not be as tough.

OK… Serious question here… Is the continuous use of the third person a cultural thing that is just unique to Brits?

If you're talking about how he says "we", that's first person plural, not third person. It's because he's either presenting from the perspective of the channel as a group, and/or including the viewer in the instruction on how to do something: "we do it like this". The latter does tend to be a British English trait.

Blame the Queen. Maybe it's the Royal "We" with a spot of editorial "We" for all those behind Scale War Machines thrown in for good measure. Plus, "We" like it.

Thank you for a great tutorial. I love the Tamiya Clear Line. You might want to mention though that these paints are extremely poisonous especially when used with an airbrush - all information about health hazards by Tamiya.
