Many thanks for this. I've been curious about chipping techniques, but I prefer to work with brushes and all the techniques I've seen so far have been unsuitable for that. I might have to give this one a go.
You're very welcome! Your right. Most chipping mediums wouldn't work well with brushing as they'd be re-activated by the paint and the movement. This could be a solution indeed?
I'd describe this as more a "peeling" than flaking, but as such is very effective. I wasn't sure initially, but the finished result is nice, especially for the torn roofing material. For a more "chipped" look, I've used a hairspray (silvikrin I think) and then sprinkled salt onto it when still wet. Then overcoat with spray paint. Then rub with fingers/toothbrush and water to reveal the undercolours. It works well to replicate flaked rusty surfaces rather than the weathered wood and peeling paint of your Asda method.
What did you think of the Roots paint? I have struggled to get on with it if I'm honest. Although the colour match was pretty good it didn't cover too well.
It’s the first time that I’ve used it so I really don’t have proper opinion. I’ll be doing a whole loco soon, so I’ll try to post the results in the community section
Does anyone have an idea whether Elmer's clear school glue would work? The nearest ASDA to me is a 22-hour flight away :) I'm guessing a lot of the clear craft glues would be similar, I picked Elmer's as it's available in a lot of countries. including here in Australia. I'll probably buy some and give it a try on an old wagon.
In broadcasting, music and general productions they use electronic audio compressor/limiters which boost low level audio and limit clipping/distortion on high levels in order to keep all audio within a specific levels. Most youtubers don't have this technology so it is important to make sure the audio is loud enough on the quieter parts. People can always lower the volume but if you cant hear it on max then you're snookered! Regards Julian
Hopefully constructive criticism: try turning the focus on your camera to manual, as the tracking in and out all the time of the autofocus is distracting.

That looks really good. So glad I found your channel. I must give this a try
Thanks and welcome
Great work👍
Thank you.
That does make a really good flaky effect
I think it needs a little finessing, but it’s in the right area 👍🏼
Excellent tips thankyou for the video
Thanks for watching. Glad you enjoyed it

Yes indeed. I've done a video comparing salt and hairspray chipping techniques. They all have their uses
thank you for sharing this one. will visit asda and raid their art dept. this weekend!
Thanks for watching. Good luck 👍🏼
Fantastic great techniques
Glad you like them!

I’ve seen this done with Elmers on wood, I think it would work in a similar way.
Let me know how you get on
I't an interesting effect but is it flaking? It looks very effective to simulate torn fabric. Thanks.
Thanks. That sound like a great suggestion. Maybe torn uniform for military or even ripped seats for cars 👍🏼
Ahhh, poor Minty. Always got the raw deal.
Lol!
😂
Try blutack. The results are more controllable as you can shape it...............
Good idea. I’ll try that next time. 👍🏼
Interesting affect but to my eye does not “scale”well on oo gauge. Might look better on o gauge models.
Hi, I am new to this game, could you tell me where you get your paint.
Aamzon is a good source to get your paints, but may be a little cheaper from dedicated model shops
Good content but as with many channels on TH-cam the audio level, yet again, is far too low and it's a struggle to hear a word!
Thanks for the comment. I’ll pay attention to the levels for future videos

Anyone know if he's alright? Missing his videos...
Im still here! Hoping to get some
New content up soon. Sorry for the absence 😊
@@BuntersYard Well glad you're alright, you never know eh? Your videos help so much, be great to see more.

Thank you. Point taken
I prefer using cheap hairspray
We use 'own brand' hairspray too. The effect is slightly different though. More for chipping rather than peeling. Thank for your comments
:)
Thank you
