Hi Jon, I am watching the " Scale Modeling How To " playlist again. I have so much to learn that I find I always hear/notice something new each time I watch them. At 11:40 in the video, you speak about adding an acrylic glaze over top the oil weathering after it dried. Was it necessary to put a clear coat overtop that, or did the glaze provide that protection? Or once the oil has dried, is it stable on the surface and turpenoid or another oil thinner are the only things that would reactivate the oil?
Yes, the acrylic glaze does act as a sort of barrier coat over oils. As acrylics won't reactivate oils, no clear barrier was needed between the two. Generally, when oil is dried and cured, you can put more oils/thinners over it. However, do so carefully, as it can take a while for the curing process to take place. But also keep in mind that some blending may actually look better.
Did the model come with the corrugated hoses for the legs? I have a bunch of the 1/35 scale egg case kits that look really similar except the hoses are all smooth plastic.
When I bought this kit during a Japan trip; I didn't realize it was so small!! I thought it was one single big model! What a surprise :D
Yeah, they are kind of tiny at 1/35th scale. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Have some of these arriving today and this video was a great refresher
Awesome! Thank you for watching and commenting!
I'll be pinching lots of these ideas to add to the tank me and wee man are painting up this half term.
Awesome! Let me know how that goes - I'd love to see that.

Yes! The kit had very nicely molded hoses, and I used them right out of the box. Paint, drybrush, add a wash - simple enough!
Thanks for watching!
