Genius!

ciekawy sposób, kiedyś tego spróbuję

Fantastic idea!

Великолепная идея

Simply brilliant.

Fantastic. What video editing software do you use.

Cool Brian I’ll have to try that !!

Excellent

Pretty cool, I didn't know such things as micro solder balls were a thing. I've done larger models by drilling holes and filling with styrene rod, clipping slightly above the surface then lightly sanding the nubs.

When I was a kid in the 70's we peeled the foil from Wrigley's Spearmint Gum wrappers and stuck it on everything. I wonder if those wrappers are still made the same way

This technique works best when you seal them under a coat of clear lacquer

Oh, chocolate wrapping, i was like crap now i got to go buy another special foil 😅

Great ! Thank you ! I've used bare metal foil but its thicker , more expensive. & Has an adhesive. Can't wait to try this 😊

Is the PLW enamel or acrylic?

Oh my God, it's the next level crazy mate. wow I only can dream of doing this much. You are smart brother

what do you use to hold the canopies? What brand and product name please

Just got the solder balls in today. OMFG the .2 balls look like dust. The .25 you can almost see them and the .35 can be seen ok. I may hae to go larger than .35 for 1/35 scale rivets. VMS aggregate fixer may work well for this.

I think you just solved my issue with the Kitty Hawk SH60B model kit! How easy is to sand them down slightly so they are not so proud of the surface?

Brilliant idea. Thanks!

holy solder balls batman, we are way beyond rivet counting now, arent we 🤣🤣

I almost wish I didn't care so much about detail now lmao

The genius is in its simplicity. Way to use that big hominoid brain. 👏👏👏

Clever!

Jesus Christ the madness…

Hello, I'm new to your channel but I follow you on Facebook, I haven't heard or seen you lately, I hope you're doing fine and are in good health, I hope to see you around pretty soon, I cant wait to see that Thud, best regards.

What a great tip. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Great tip! Ingenious!!

I'm just curious. How do you get the candy foil to stick to the canopy? I'm guessing I missed that part. Also, Hersheys kisses have a thin foil as well.

I keep my airplanes models (1\72) on a soft roll of toilet paper.

Definitely better than masking tape. You can also remove your masks and scan them, vectorize to print oramasks and share !

what did you use to hold canopy on stick? looks really good. ill try on my f86

Hi there, I'm late to this party however I thought I'd offer some advice or suggestions'. The hair mousse for adhering the "rivets" seems to work great, have you tried using a rhinestone picker/wax pen to pick up and place the solder balls? I can see that the method you use would seem faster for placing lots of rivets at a time though. I have used solder balls to place detailed eyes in miniature figures for a while, and a wax pen lets me accurately pop them in place easily 😉

This looks harder but somehow way more preferable to masking. Oh do I hate masking

What scale are you working with in this example? I am working 1/48. Would the .2mm be the size?

I finally got ahold of some .2 MM balls and tried using regular hair spray because that liquid Mousse is expensive online and I couldn't locate a store that sold it locally. Hairspray didn't hold the rivets securely at all. They would brush right off even after a coat of paint. Then I thought of trying to use Future as a fixer. Future worked really well in a small test. The best thing about using the Future was that after a coat of paint the rivets did not pull up after putting a piece of Tamiya tape over it. This technique works! Thanks for sharing.

What are you using to wipe the canopy clean??

Also, I just subbed to your channel so I will be checking out more of your content. Have a great day. -David

Great tips, I'm sure this will help out a lot of folks. Thanks for sharing, have a great day. -David

Typical. I can't find a source for .2 mm size balls. The link provided is now a dead end. I know, it's not your fault. A great tip though. I will just have continue the search.

Thank you for sharing and content; May you know the difference between "AMMO Panel Line Wash" and "AMMO Enamel Wash" ?

I'm sorry mate but.......your video is just for native language people! You're speaking so damm fast!

I've just learned that you need a semi-gloss or gloss coat to add a clean panel line wash (like you say). My first attempts were done with no clear coat at all and I end up scuffing off paint and it absorbs into the paint. I then got an ultra matte varnish so I wouldn't scuff paint off and had some of the same problems --- mostly the wash seeping into the paint. My next model I will try a proper gloss coat to get a clean panel line wash application.

Impressive!

Thanks :)

This is a really great technique! Thank you!

Finally someone comes up with a way of creating raised rivets. The recessed kind just don't look real. But I need some clarification, you only use the mousse as your glue? And this actually holds the solder balls in place? Or you paint over the solder balls and moose and that's the final step? Anyway, thanks for a great technique!

And here's another tip, if you use photo etch, some of the pieces can be tiny, each one of those bristles you cut off can be glued to the end of a toothpick and used as a superglue/CA applicator, it will deliver MINISCULE amounts of glue to exactly the right spot!

Say what you want about snap tires but they are perfect for long drives.
