Layering and Chipping Scale Models With Liquid Frisket
มุมมอง 7815 ปีที่แล้ว
In this video I demonstrate how I use liquid frisket to layer base colors on a scale model. This technique is an alternative to salt weathering that avoids the issues of surface tension and staining while giving a similar layered effect.

Pigment application on the Academy Hetzer
มุมมอง 6K6 ปีที่แล้ว
This will be the first in a series of installments aimed at fixing things that need to be fixed. For this video, I wanted to revist the Academy 1/35 Early Hetzer by adding some pigments by Mig and AK Interactive to the underside of the model to tie in the effects on the rest of the tank. For this I used a combination of Tamiya X-20A and Ammo Pigment Fixer for the application.
Scale Modeling Paint Chemisty Overview

David R Lentz, Columbus, Ohio, USA Excellence subtly executed!
Jim, were did you get your 0.05 brass tubing? Thanks
I wish I could help you but I was sent a rather modest supply of it by a publisher back when I was doing magazine stuff. I believe Micro Mart has some options. I'm going to actually have to find my own source at some point because I am running low now.
Thanks@@jimsmodels
That F-4E of yours looks fantastic.!..I really like your weathering as too much on a F-4 ruins her..But yours is just right being subtle but present and with the right touch of chippping..Also you can’t go too far wrong with Mr.Color.. Thank you for your video as I’ve got Tamiya 1/32 F-4C/D to build..All the best from the U.K🇬🇧🇺🇸👍
Dear Jim, I like your presentation and easy style. The detail to the exhausts is nicely done and the improvements to the ignition ring is excellent. It won’t be long before you have many subs- I added one to your total! Regards, Z

hi
Until you spell “Corsair” correctly in your titles, no one’s going to find this video in the future by searching for it.
Be sure to check out more th-cam.com/video/hEuFwgUi97s/w-d-xo.html
I know TH-cam is pressuring creators to create shorts, but they’re filling up my subscription feed and offer little in terms of useful content. I know you’re doing what you think is best for your channel, but I’m going to start dropping channels that spam shorts. I enjoy your long-form stuff, but if I want shorts I’ll download TikTok.
I value the feedback. I have to say I don't think I'm putting anymore effort into them honestly. The work to benefit ratio doesn't seem all that worth it. I feel like just doing quick full format videos is much more useful. Thought I'd try at least but I genuinely don't like it
@@jimsmodels if you can provide something of genuine value in 60 seconds, then maybe? It just seems like such a transparent effort on TH-cam’s behalf to try to compete with TikTok.
@Bruce The Model Noob oh most certainly. I also just dont see how 60 seconds is enough time to be useful in this particular niche. I'm fact, I didn't know they had to be a minute. I honestly made this and it just wound up being at that. Now knowing I'd have to be within that time, I don't think I could do it. But I do think stuff around 5 minutes could be valuable
@@jimsmodels 60 seconds was just a SWAG… I have no idea what actually qualifies as a “short.”
@Bruce The Model Noob yeah I believe its under 60s.
Like and comment for algorithm.
Aren't you kind and generous with your time. 🤣
Great brush control. Something I really appreciate, suffering from an essential tremor. 😊
Well I appreciate it. I will say that I'm starting to feel like I'm losing it a bit in that area. I can still manage with some stuff but small stuff has gotten to be a challenge sometimes
Oh I'm looking forward to the magic on this one Jim!
The magic is that I managed to cut around 3 hours of footage into an 8 minute video and maintain my sanity. 🤣

Thanks for all the tips on what is wrong with the Phantom for I have two an E and a D/C.Well done on your build.
Beautifully done Jim! Congrats
That’s an interesting technique! Thanks for showing! 👍🏼
I found a set of seamless intakes on eBay...for 100 bucks. FOD covers it is.
been looking for (assembled) 1/32 & 1/48 scale miniature models of F-4E Phantom II (Block 50+) multi role interdictor strike fighter with functional features like opening cockpit canopy, retractable front & rear wheeled landing gear, movable flaps & rudder, under wing weapons hard points etc . . . please note I'm interested in the internal gun variant of the F-4E Phantom II (Block 50+) multi role interdictor strike fighter that was built into the starboard side forward lower fuselage section, as the airframe upgraded over time . . . please advise . . .
He's back! Welcome back Voldemort..I mean Jim - love the Phantom and I totally get the black basing doesn't fit every painting opportunity. I used dark brown for a warmer result on my Mig-31, so I think you're quite right that black is really only for a cold grey, like the underside of naval aviation perhaps, and maybe to dull down some normally warm colours. I'm looking forward to more from you, what's next on the bench? Cheers Chris
Thanks for checking out the video. My problem right now is I want to build everything. Over Christmas I asked for a 32nd A-4 and Skyraider because I was feeling those. But some aftermarket became avaliable that I was waiting for for the Revell F-4G so it looks like I'm on that path. Just really digging Phantoms and the bench time. Been therapeutic
Good to see you back, missed you. The Phantom looks pretty cool. I've been having a similar issue with direct black basing where the colour gap from black to top colour is too much to close easily, and that it seems helpful to go about halfway and mess around with a darker colour underneath the top coat. It keeps the subtle variation that we want but makes it easier to find the nice zone between a blotchy finish and a smooth one.
Thank you kindly. It's good to be back at the bench for sure. I hope all is well. "Color gap" is a great way to describe the issue I've been finding. I think there's a lot of experimenting in my future for sure with more appropriate undercoats.
Wunderbar... ;)
Excellent video. Cleared a lot of my doubts. Funny thing is while i started brushing thinner x20a like you did but the paint came off immediately. Maybe because I used the same thinner to paint (tamiya)? IDK. Should I "seal" it with varnish first next time? Gladly is the bottom and applying a good amount of pigment covered everything.
Hi Jim, great video! A question I have is, do you seal the bottom with and kind of matte enamel afterwards to protect the pigments from chipping? I'm still very new to this so please forgive the newbie question.
where is the new upload..i need to do some unliking..lolz
Where's the sword slapping? It was so funny in a sad way.
@@jimsmodels Why did you delete that shit? We need more of your balaclava neckbeard stuff. This chipping nonsense, others do it better. But there can be only one Walmart katana dork.
Nice intro good info
shit intro no info
Very nice effect, thanks for sharing! Subbed.
Boom!
u love the boomboom ....huh ?
Thanks for the great video! Still new to black basing so this will help along the way. How would you pick out the underlying marble color on for example multi color camo paterns?
In that instance I do the same process. I just map out the camo pattern and don't overspray into areas where the other color(s) go. With a detail airbrush and spraying small this is pretty straightforward. Then you can mask if you wany to or freehand the next color. If that seems confusing let me know and I'll try and explain better
I’m probably in the minority but I use white as my marble layer and on multi colored camo schemes, I spray the first camo color in roughly the area I want it, mask it, then touch up the edges around the masks with black/ white...rinse and repeat. Although it’s a little extra work, I’ve found that it keeps the weathering consistent throughout the demarcation of camo colors...I’ve only done it using hard edge camo patterns and might be a little more difficult with softer edges. I posted a video using this technique on a 1/32 Horten Ho 229. Some good videos btw Jim, It’s nice to know there are other dorks out there like me ;). Subbed. Sean
Hi Jim yes that does make sense! Main thing i wonder is would you use a lighter color for the marbeling or the same as the top color?
Yawn...
Thank you for the constructive feedback as usual. Could you please point me to where I can find your videos? Or any contribution you've made to the hobby?
Me just being in the hobby is my contribution. :) @@jimsmodels
If I see this kit I will shit on it - after I’ve stamped it into your carpet
Um...ok...feel better now?
Thanks for the review! I just ordered the kit. I already have his intake fix for the trumpeter F-14!
wait a minute....that's not me that's my step son
Now it's me
Haha. The perils of multiple accounts in the house. Been there. I think you'll enjoy the set. It looks to be quality stuff.
Received it this morning,and it's awesome
I hope you enjoy it very much!
Well at least somebody's covering up those ejector mark pins. I build fulltime 12 hours a day .if it not seen no need to mess with them . I can't build models fast enough. There is absolutely no reason for that to bother you. But good video keep them up
Can I ask ...what do yo do for a living....that you get to build for 12 hours....?
Good video thanks Jim!!
Jim is a cockhead
Magnifique travail monsieur Et de bonne explication Magnificent work sir and good explanation This is a pleasure for the eyes i enjoy watching your video I am subscribed And I would be proud to have you as subscriber too 👍
What no Alclad II?
kylwell I actually have some, but I just haven't thrown it away. I don't really care for it. Shelf life seems to be an issue. I use Mr. Paint for metallics.
Really? 'Course it may be where I live, a mile up and 30% humidity on a wet day. I really like their flat clear coat, dead flat and no frosting.
kylwell Can you get their enamel clears to dry? I know thats a real big issue. I have a build I used the light sheen on back in 2015 that is still sticky to the touch.
Yes, used them on my last 3. I do know they can be a tad sensitive to contaminates and know a few people in more humid areas have had issues but they've also had issues with clear acrylics. Still sticky after 3 years... could be all three. Have you tried a hair dryer? See if the warm dry air will help it cure. I know a guy who is a paint junkie (he owns god knows how many brands) I'll see if he has any idea.
Hey Jim, 2 quick things 1. The way you have your brushes resting on their bristles is giving me the heebie-jeebies. Stop that! You'll destroy them! 2. I find a much more realistic effect on the front and rear lower hull is to splatter the pigments on. I mix them with thinner and flick them on. The method you show on your video works good for the hill sides and wheels, but to me, a splattered effect looks better on the front and rear. 3. I am loving your videos
Don't worry. Those are cheap brushes for cheap things
Hey Jim, nice informative video. Thank you for the efford.
Hope it's been helpful. Thanks for watching.
Yes it was. Specially the use of the wet layer first.
I've used the hair-spray as masking a couple times with tools and similar small objects.. works out pretty nicely!
Ty-ree, its Tyre you colonial....
I wish I could post memes here
:-)
Looking good Jimmy!
