      Same... haven't built one since high school which is about 28 years for me. Forgot how much fun I use to have building models. Never had any of the fancy stuff they have now like airbrushes, did it all by brush back then.

    really good tutorial, I'll have to try that thinning Tamiya paint idea nice. yeah I never prime my models, and like you I never wash them, and i never had any trouble with the paint sticking, but I do wash my resin kits there's some kind of oil on it, not everything but I do wash just to make sure. again great vid.

      can i also use the thinning technique if i do handpainting on my kits? really having a hard time doing the tamiya acrylic and thinner ratio by just eyeballing it.

    • @Eoin6661
      @Eoin6661 7 ปีที่แล้ว +10

      Tamiya paints aren't the best for brush painting, have a look at vallejo or lifecolor, both are acrylic water based, for me lifecolor are the best model paints available

    Great video on the basics, Andy! After a 22 year hiatus from modeling, this video is just what I needed to get going again. (Although I originally watched this about two years ago, I like to come back to it since it’s a great reference.). Thanks for all your help!

  • @joachimpeiper6546

    Dear Mr. Andy,
    It is always a pleasure for me to watch you build, paint and especially when the models age. Many of your tips are now my own. Their experience and especially the nice way they bring it over is great. I don't have a dealer near me, I have to drive more than 100 km to the nearest dealer. A man like you is rarely here in Germany, who is above all a model builder himself and therefore knows what he's talking about!
    I always feel sorry for the fools who give a thumbs down. Probably frustrated, who can't do anything themselves ... .-)
    They do a valuable service for us model builders. Thanks for that!.
    Best regards from Germany

    Just found your channel today and I'm impressed. Liked and subbed and will be watching your other videos. I found this video on tamiya paints helpful. I was always a little uncomfortable using acrylic paint on plastic, so confidence is higher now thanks to this video.
    Might I also say I'm glad you have embraced the Internet. Almost all the brick and mortar stores in my area have closed down years ago and I am forced to buy my hobby needs by Internet and mail order. Sure do miss the days of hanging out at the local hobby shop talking with the employees about hobby matters. Now I'm very much on my own and have to rely on the Internet for all and any help with my hobbies.

    @MaZEEZaM 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Thanks for this video, I watched it originally ages ago but in reading a viewers comment on another channel's video, expressing that they always had difficulty thinning their paints to the point they rarely paint, I thought of You, and this particular video and decided to search and find it again so I could not only refresh my memory as I finally have my first models and paints but to also offer them this link to hopefully help their painting and give them confidence in painting and enjoying this hobby.

  • @danburrill8716
    @danburrill8716 8 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    I never used to worry about washing models, but since I got back into modelling and started building mostly new Airfix kits (the ones moulded in India, I think), I'm finding I need to give all the sprues a good soak in warm water and detergent in order to get the primer to cover properly. I guess different factories have different ideas about how much mould release they need to use, so what works for kits from one manufacturer might not work with kits from another. Personally, now I just do it with all kits, as it's far better to start from a known good condition instead of finding a problem after you've started building and want to get on, at least in my opinion.

    Andy, you are a life saver with this video! The info on the air brush and the Lysol was the best. I was days away from chucking the air brush because of dried paint, and the tip on adding the thinner to the Tamiya paints made painting so much easier. I'm in the process of trading out may AV Air for Tamiya colors now. Thx... PS Not having any luck with the glue though... 2 out of 3 is a number I can live with...
