so how many clear coats are you applying, if you're doing a clear coat between each oil layer.

So could I get some more detail about how your thin your paint so you don't destroy the layer beneath? You said you add thinner to your palette. It helps the paint dry faster, more matter, and flows off the brush better. But when I do it, it destroys the underlying layers. So I wonder what you are doing different. If you covered this already, could you point me to the video? thank you.
@SmallSoldier4 күн бұрын
@@BuzzkillZone The paint is more like a glaze which dries really fast. Some paint like the highlight areas is more opaque and will take more time to dry. You have to work fast when using this technique this is why I use the thinner to dilute the paint so it dries quicker. You can also use a heat lamp to dry the oils faster. Hope that helps.
@BuzzkillZone4 күн бұрын
@@SmallSoldier Thank you. Next time I try I'll thin it down to a glaze and see how things go.

I've just caught up with your channel and having this kit in my stash I had to watch. I'm an ageing resumer but want to give it my best shot.I'm getting there (I think). The days are gone when as a kid too many years ago the Airfix figure of Julius Caesar had a red gloss cloak, groan. Wonderful finish to this kit sir, I can only hope and remember more haste less speed. Is there a video for the figure and setting, I did look but it isn't beyond the realms of possibility that this old codger kept missing it. Respect from England.

Should I apply x22 gloss before applying decals ?
@SmallSoldierАй бұрын
You can but I prefer Alclad 2 Aqua Gloss clear "ALC 600". I find I get better results than with X22. If you can't get the Alclad stuff make sure you thin the X22 with either Mr Leveling thinner 400 or the Tamiya Lacquer thinner "retarder type" with the orange cap which is similar to the MLT. Hope that "clears" 😉 things up. Cheers!

@@SmallSoldier tamiya x20A thinner not good for this ? I only have this type of thinner and in online people say its ok cause its not a enamel paint so you dont need laquer thinner

If I use only Mark Fit strong will it do work for decals ?
@SmallSoldierАй бұрын
Well like anything I would do some tests if you can before trying it on your model, especially if you’re not familiar with the product. It really depends on which companies decals your using. Some decals work great with Micro Sol others are thicker and tougher which makes them difficult to conform so I like to use Solvaset for those. Be careful as some decal solutions will make the decal prints run or discolour. I hope this helps with your decisions.🙂🙌🏻

Sorry you we're offended by this video. You need to realize this was one of my early videos where I was trying to figure out lighting, sound, camera and editing software. I agree a voice over would have made this even better and if you watch any of my later videos pretty much everything has a very descriptive voice over and captions. You also should realize how much time and effort these videos take to create. I'm not doing this full time and try and produce the best possible product I can in the limited time I have to do it in... so I'd appreciate you taking all these factors into consideration. Thanks for you're feedback.

A bit late to the party, but just one word - magnificent! A model that big and that complex deserves all the time and effort you put into it, and it absolutely paid off. Hard to see how it could be improved. Lots of really great tips and techniques , and your painting skills are top notch - the layering of washes to achieve depth and complexity is an Old Masters painting technique - you can 't get the depth any other way. And inspirational too - really makes me want to take up ship modelling again after many, many years - thanks for sharing your epic build!
